The handler of the double fault exception splitted on two parts. The first part is the check which checks that a fault is a `non-IST` fault on the `espfix64` stack. Actually the `iret` instruction restores only the bottom `16` bits when returning to a `16` bit segment. The `espfix` feature solves this problem. So if the `non-IST` fault on the espfix64 stack we modify the stack to make it look like `General Protection Fault`: The handler of the double fault exception split on two parts.
