      x86/paravirt: use normal calling sequences for irq enable/disable etc

Subject: [PATCH] x86/paravirt: use normal calling sequences for irq 
enable/disable etc

For historical reasons irq enable/disable/save/restore had special
calling sequences to make them more efficient.  With the more
recent introduction of higher-level and more general optimisations
this is no longer necessary so we can just use the normal PVOP_
macros.  This fixes some residual bugs in the old implementations which
left edx liable to inadvertent clobbering.

Also, fix some bugs in __PVOP_VCALLEESAVE which were revealed by actual
use.
