Yes. I sent a couple of fix patches last night, which included a fix for this.

Subject: x86/vmi: fix interrupt enable/disable/save/restore calling convention.

Zach says:
Enable/Disable have no clobbers at all.
Save clobbers only return value, %eax
Restore also clobbers nothing.

This is precisely compatible with the calling convention, so we can
just call them directly without wrapping.
