Instead of that, couldn't we call DOSVM_EmulateInterruptPM ?
After all we are moving all msdos code to winedos.dll.

 *         DOSVM_EmulateInterruptPM
 * Emulate software interrupt in 16-bit or 32-bit protected mode.
 * Called from signal handler when intXX opcode is executed.
 *
 * Pushes interrupt frame to stack and changes instruction
 * pointer to interrupt handler.
