I was looking at x86_64 paravirt the other day and found we actually
have pv_ops.cpu.iret users there..
On x86_64 we have (without PARAVIRT_XXL):

#define INTERRUPT_RETURN        jmp native_iret

and with PARAVIRT_XXL this is basically a jmp *pv_ops.cpu.iret which
will then be patched to either jmp native_iret or jmp xen_iret.
Ah, okay. Clearly I didn't look hard enough. Thanks!
