From: Joerg Roedel <jroedel@xxxxxxx> 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.
