Fault while reloading DS, ES, FS or GS 2. Fault while executing IRET #1 retries the IRET after XEN has fixed up the segments. #2 injects a #GP which kills the task For #1 there is no reason to go through the full exception return path because the tasks TIF state is still the same. So just going straight to the IRET path is good enough.
