It should still work under paravirt. If it does not, we need to figurure
out why.

On boot up, when CONFIG_PARAVIRT is set but the kernel is running on
bare metal, a lot of the calls to things like "pv_irq_ops.irq_enabled"
are converted to the native caller anyway. Perhaps the conversion messed
up?
