Hello Joerg, Juergen

The commit ae755b5a4548 ("x86/paravirt: Switch iret pvops to ALTERNATIVE")
( https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210311142319.4723-12-jgross@xxxxxxxx/ )
had been merged and the paravirt_iret is deferenced based via %rip.

Can INTERRUPT_RETURN still be a problem if early_idt_handler_array
is used instead for bringup IDT?

Thanks
Lai
