Use something like this: (assuming old_int holds the seginfo for the old
interrupt)

__dpmi_regs call_regs;
call_regs.x.cs = old_int.rm_segment;
call_regs.x.ip = old_int.rm_offset;
call_regs.x.ss = call_regs.x.sp = 0;
__dpmi_simulate_real_mode_procedure_iret(&call_regs);

Assuming you're calling __d_s_r_n_p_i from inside an interrupt, you will
probably want to assign values to other registers of call_regs.
