That's normally spelled like:

jmp do_paranoid_entry

But the same comment as for error_entry but more; pretty much all that's
left in asm is things like:


call paranoid_entry;

# setup args
call \cfunc

call paranoid_exit

which seems like prime material to also pull into C to avoid the
back-and-forth thing. In fact, why can't you call paranoid_entry/exit
from \cfunc itself? The IDT macros should be able to help.
