[PATCH 0/3] Fix and cleanup for 32-bit PV sysexit

The first patch fixes Xen PV regression introduced by 32-bit rewrite. Unlike the
earlier version it uses ALTERNATIVE instruction and avoids using xen_sysexit
(and sysret32 in compat mode) pv ops, as suggested by Andy. (I ended up patching
TEST with XOR to avoid extra NOPs, even though I said yesterday it would be
wrong. It's not wrong)

As result of this patch irq_enable_sysexit and usergs_sysret32 pv ops are not
used anymore by anyone and so can be removed.

Boris Ostrovsky (3):
  x86/xen: Avoid fast syscall path for Xen PV guests
  x86: irq_enable_sysexit pv op is no longer needed
  x86: usergs_sysret32 pv op is no longer needed

[PATCH 1/3] x86/xen: Avoid fast syscall path for Xen PV guests

After 32-bit syscall rewrite, and specifically after commit 5f310f739b4c
("x86/entry/32: Re-implement SYSENTER using the new C path"), the
stack
frame that is passed to xen_sysexit is no longer a "standard" one
(i.e.
it's not pt_regs).

Since we end up calling xen_iret from xen_sysexit we don't need to fix
up the stack and instead follow entry_SYSENTER_32's IRET path directly
to xen_iret.

We can do the same thing for compat mode even though stack does not need
to be fixed. This will allow us to drop usergs_sysret32 paravirt op (in
the subsequent patch)

Looks generally quite nice.  Minor comments below:

Could we make this a little less subtle:

ALTERNATIVE "testl %eax, %eax; lz .Lsyscall_32_done", "jmp
.Lsyscasll_32_done", X86_FEATURE_XENPV

Borislav, what do you think?

Ditto for the others.

This bit is highly magical and I think we need Borislav's ack.

Since this is due to the first patch in the series I don't know its 
commitID. Should I just refer to patch title?
