Subject: x86/entry/64: De-Xen-ify our NMI code
From: Andy Lutomirski <luto@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 929bacec21478a72c78e4f29f98fb799bd00105a upstream.
Xen PV is fundamentally incompatible with our fancy NMI code: it
doesn't use IST at all, and Xen entries clobber two stack slots
below the hardware frame.
Drop Xen PV support from our NMI code entirely.
