Interrupt gate in x86

[Fered]

Hi;

My question is about Interrupt Descriptor Table (IDT) initialization. RTEMS 
initializes all descriptors as "Interrupt Gate". If you are familiar with x86 
architecture, it have 3 gates for execution of handlers: 
Interrupt gate, trap gate and task gate.
If we use "interrupt gate", processor clears IF flag, then all maskable 
interrupts masked. If interrupts masked, then we have no interrupt at the 
middle of execution of the handler. Then nested interrupting is disabled.
I saw "irq_asm.S" and as I said, "_ISR_Nest_level" increases before 
dispatching of Interrupt handler. But I think if we use "Interrupt Gate" then 
"_ISR_Nest_level" doesn't exceed one.
My question is "Is it true what I said about the variable?".
Thanks
