> the INT instruction alone is not enough for this, but you need to setup the stack in such a way so that it will contain the information expected by the exception handler,

Wait, what? The x86 CPUs construct the stack frame themselves before jumping to the interrupt handler, otherwise e.g. INT3 wouldn't work.
