PVOP_VCALL4() is only used for Xen PV, while PVOP_CALL4() isn't used at all. Keep PVOP_CALL4() for 64 bits due to symmetry reasons. This allows to remove the 32-bit definitions of those macros leading to a substantial simplification of the paravirt macros, as those were the only ones needing non-empty "pre" and "post" parameters. PVOP_CALLEE2() and PVOP_VCALLEE2() are used nowhere, so remove them. Another no longer needed case is special handling of return types larger than unsigned long. Replace that with a BUILD_BUG_ON(). DISABLE_INTERRUPTS() is used in 32-bit code only, so it can just be replaced by cli. INTERRUPT_RETURN in 32-bit code can be replaced by iret. ENABLE_INTERRUPTS is used nowhere, so it can be removed.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
