Subject: [PATCH 4/4] xen/acpi: Prep saved_context cr3 values.

When save_processor_state is executed it executes a bunch of
pvops calls to save the CPU state values. When it comes back
from Xen's S3 (so acpi_enter_sleep_state, which ends up calling
xen_acpi_notify_hypervisor_state), it ends up back in the
assembler code in wakeup_[32|64].S. It skips the wakeup
calls (so wakeup_pmode_return and wakeup_long64) as that has
been done in the hypervisor. Instead it continues on in
the resume_point (64-bit) or ret_point (32-bit). Most of the
calls in there are safe to be executed except when it comes to
reloading of cr3 (which it only does on 64-bit kernels). Since
they are native assembler calls and Xen expects a PV kernel to
prep those to use machine address for cr3 that is what
we are going to do. Note: that it is not Machine Frame Numbers
(those are used in the MMUEXT_NEW_BASEPTR hypercall for cr3
installation) but the machine physical address.

When the assembler code executes this mov %ebx, cr3 it ends
end up trapped in the hypervisor (traps.c) which properly now
sets the cr3 value.
