It looks you may have broken paravirt (if even that case worked) because
the iret is actually at the iret_label you removed (after the instruction
is patched.) And most likely neither version worked with "noreplace-paravirt',
because then the iret instruction is out-of-line and the INTERRUPT_RETURN
jumps to it.
