From: Joerg Roedel <jroe...@suse.de>
Make sure there is a stack once the kernel runs from virual addresses.
At this stage any secondary CPU which boots will have lost its stack
because the kernel switched to a new page-table which does not map the
real-mode stack anymore.
This is needed for handling early #VC exceptions caused by instructions
like CPUID.
