Yuck; I'd much rather we get that static_call() stuff sorted such that
text_poke() and poke_int3_handler() can do CALL emulation.
Given all the back and forth, I think the solution where we shift
pt_regs a bit to allow the emulated PUSH is a viable solution; eg. I
think we collectively hated it least.
