A basic IDT setup for the boot CPU has to be done before invoking
cpu_init() because that might trigger #GP when accessing certain MSRs. This
setup cannot install the IST variants on 64-bit because the TSS setup which
is required for ISTs to work happens in cpu_init(). That leaves a
theoretical window where a NMI would invoke the ASM entry point which
relies on IST being enabled on the kernel stack which is undefined
behaviour.
This setup logic has never worked correctly, but on the other hand a NMI
hitting the boot CPU before it has fully set up the IDT would be fatal
anyway. So the small window between the wrong NMI gate and the IST based
NMI gate is not really adding a substantial amount of risk.
But the setup logic is nevertheless more convoluted than necessary. The
recent separation of the TSS setup into a separate function to ensure that
setup so it can setup TSS first, then initialize IDT with the IST variants
before invoking cpu_init() and get rid of the post cpu_init() IST setup.
Move the invocation of cpu_init_exception_handling() ahead of
idt_setup_traps() and merge the IST setup into the default setup table.
