Trying to regenerate the IF flag? I dunno.

But yeah, I think you could just force all of it into an explicit asm.
Or just use native_save_fl(). Except now that I look at it, for some
reason that is "extern inline" and we have an out-of-line option. I
can't for the life of me imagine why.

[ Looking at history. Oh, it's because of that same Xen issue and Xen
wanting to use it as a function pointer. Ugh. What a crock. ]
