      Impact: fix crash on VMI (VMware)
      
      When we generate a call sequence for calling a paravirtualized
      function, we presume that the generated code is "call *0xXXXXX",
      which is a 6 byte opcode; this is larger than a normal
      direct call, and so we can patch a direct call over it.
      
      At the moment, however we give gcc enough rope to hang us by
      putting the address in a register and generating a two byte
      indirect-via-register call.  Prevent this by explicitly
      dereferencing the function pointer and passing it into the
      asm as a constant.
      
      This prevents crashes in VMI, as it cannot handle unpatchable
      callsites.
