As xenint3 and int3 entry code are same except xenint3 doesn't generate
a gap, we can fix it by using int3 and drop useless xenint3.

Indeed. The SWAPGS PVOP is implemented as a nop for x86 PV, to simply
the entry assembly (rather than doubling up all entry vectors).

Not only that (Xen could trap and emulate swapgs if that was needed) - 64-bit
PV kernel mode always gets entered with kernel GS base already set. Hence
finding out whether to switch the GS base is specifically not something that
any exception entry point would need to do (and it should actively try to
avoid it, for performance reasons).

xenint3 will be removed in this patch safely as it don't use IST now.

For 64bit PV guests, Xen's ABI enters the kernel with using SYSRET, with
%rcx/%r11 on the stack.
To convert back to "normal" looking exceptions, the xen thunks do `pop

[Xen-devel] [PATCH v2] xen/pv: Fix a boot up hang revealed by int3 self test
Commit 7457c0da024b ("x86/alternatives: Add int3_emulate_call()
selftest") is used to ensure there is a gap setup in exception stack
which could be used for inserting call return address.
This gap is missed in XEN PV int3 exception entry path, then below panic
triggered:

As xenint3 and int3 entry code are same except xenint3 doesn't generate
a gap, we can fix it by using int3 and drop useless xenint3.
