There is no real reason to have a separate ASM entry point implementation
for the legacy INT 0x80 syscall emulation on 64-bit.

IDTENTRY provides all the functionality needed with the only difference
that it does not:

  - save the syscall number (AX) into pt_regs::orig_ax
  - set pt_regs::ax to -ENOSYS

Both can be done safely in the C code of an IDTENTRY before invoking any of
the syscall related functions which depend on this convention.

Aside of ASM code reduction this prepares for detecting and handling a
local APIC injected vector 0x80.
