The first + * problem is easy to solve: push %eax on the stack so we can use it, and then + * restore it at the end just before the real "iret". + * + * The second is harder: copying eflags to lguest_data.irq_enabled will turn + * interrupts on before we're finished, so we could be interrupted before we + * return to userspace or wherever.
