To allow an int3 handler to emulate a call instruction, it must be able to
push a return address onto the stack. Add a gap to the stack to allow the
int3 handler to push the return address and change the return from int3 to
jump straight to the emulated called function target.

  Note, this is needed to allow Live Kernel Patching to not miss calling a
  patched function when tracing is enabled. -- Steven Rostedt

Might as well refer to it as the int3 handler, since that's what the
rest of the code calls it.  Also, no static calls yet :-)  So:

s/static call #BP handler/int3 handler/
