I'm by far no expert on the subject, but after a quick eyes-debug,
have you got the size and type parameters reversed here:

+       set_tssldt_descriptor(&tss, (unsigned long)addr,
               IO_BITMAP_OFFSET + IO_BITMAP_BYTES + sizeof(unsigned long) - 1,
               DESC_TSS);

Should DESC_TSS be the parameter before that big size equation?
