Erk... Can we get these into asm-offsets?

Hmm, we put the vcpu shift in, guess we missed that. Thanks for noticing.

Actually, is it possible to move these to a header somewhere? In the
paravirt_ops patches I used the names CLI and STI (copied from the VMI
patches), but didn't allow them to clobber any regs. They're defined in
asm-i386/paravirt.h.

Sure, although it's only used here. Got a preference?

It might be an idea to use something other than STI, CLI and CPUID, since the assembler is case-insensitive. We've already had one bug where CPUID didn't get replaced and the assembler quietly accepted it as-is.
