Variable renaming may be generally frowned upon, but i think the variable
name 'vector' really confuses things at this specific code location seeing
as it's not actually a vector as referred to for the IDT. With the
idt_descr and irq_entries_start being really closely knit it can really
confuse someone new to the code.
