[Xen-devel] [PATCH] x86/PV: avoid indirect call/thunk in I/O emulation



The stub is within reach from the .text section, so there's no point
using an indirect call here. This has the added benefit of there no
longer being two sufficiently different approaches, breaking one of
which people may not even notice.
