espfix still doesn't seem to work on Xen (it goes boom in some way that
I don't understand right now), but initializing all CPUs instead of just
one of them seems like a good start.
ISTM the right fix is probably to shove the espfix logic into
native_iret and to tweak the paravirt logic so that native_iret always
gets invoked. I suspect that Xen will need its own implementation of
espfix64 in the hypervisor and that, ultimately, someone may want to
stop initializing espfix64 at all on Xen guests.
I think just disallowing would be preferrable.
I've been looking at sigreturn_64 and it seems to be crashing dom0 (with
both mine and your patches). In kprobe_int3_handler().
