Even if you did this, it probably wouldn't help much, as the
interrupt routine is supposed to be executed in ring 0 (which
presumably is the very *reason* the program does this nonsense).

So you'll fail immediately afterwards due to privilege 
violations as the app does whatever it wants to do in ring 0 ...

Of course, you could add virtualization for all the ring 0 stuff,
but this is quite open-ended :-(

Bye,
Ulrich
