    On x86_64 we have (without PARAVIRT_XXL):

    #define INTERRUPT_RETURN jmp native_iret

    and with PARAVIRT_XXL this is basically a jmp *pv_ops.cpu.iret which
    will then be patched to either jmp native_iret or jmp xen_iret.

    On x86_32 INTERRUPT_RETURN was just "iret" for the non-paravirt case.
    This is the reason for above dropping of the static patch data.

    We want it to stay how it is. This will let both variants (PARVIRT y/n)
    continue to work.
