To avoid problems when the position of the hypercall page changes, this patch eliminates some hard-coded entries in the __xen_guest section in head.S. Further, it cleans up many things to avoid needless differences to native code, while it also adds a couple of adjustments that only will be submitted for native code inclusion, that simplify code, or that remove unused elements.

[Xen-devel] [PATCH,updated] x86-64 linux: head.S adjustments
To avoid problems when the position of the hypercall page changes, this patch eliminates some hard-coded entries in the __xen_guest section in head.S. Further, it cleans up many things to avoid needless differences to native code, while it also adds a couple of adjustments that only will be submitted for native code inclusion, that simplify code, or that remove unused elements. Unfortunately the original version didn''t work with gas newer than beginning of August 2005, where in an attempt to fix another problem a regression was introduced.
