Stray / unrelated change (and if needed, then also for lidt)?
The difference between 16bit l.dt and 32-bit l.dtl is that the former
only loads 24 bits of the actual table address (trampoline_gdt in this
case).
Thus, when trampoline_gdt is being used in-place, as it is during early
boot, and *if* the Xen image is loaded higher than 16MiB, lgdt doesn't
work. That's half a day of my life I want back.
But isn't this an issue even independent of your series? I.e. doesn't
this want to be fixed in a separate (to be backported) patch?
