You could force `entry` into a register:
diff --git a/arch/x86/kvm/vmx/vmx.c b/arch/x86/kvm/vmx/vmx.c
index 4d22b1b5e822..083a7e980bb5 100644
--- a/arch/x86/kvm/vmx/vmx.c
+++ b/arch/x86/kvm/vmx/vmx.c
@@ -6277,7 +6277,7 @@ static void
handle_external_interrupt_irqoff(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu)
#endif

:

+ [thunk_target] "a"(entry),
[ss]"i"(__KERNEL_DS),
[cs]"i"(__KERNEL_CS)
);
(https://stackoverflow.com/a/48877683/1027966 had some interesting
