Subject: [PATCH 3/3] x86/xen: init %gs very early to avoid page faults with
stack protector
When running as Xen pv guest %gs is initialized some time after
C code is started. Depending on stack protector usage this might be
too late, resulting in page faults.
So setup %gs and MSR_GS_BASE in assembly code already.
