Subject: [RFC PATCH] x86_64,entry,xen: Do not invoke espfix64 on Xen

This moves the espfix64 logic into native_iret.  To make this work,
it gets rid of the native patch for INTERRUPT_RETURN:
INTERRUPT_RETURN on native kernels is now 'jmp native_iret'.

This changes the 16-bit SS behavior on Xen from OOPSing to leaking
some bits of the Xen hypervisor's RSP (I think).

Signed-off-by: Andy Lutomirski <luto@...capital.net>

I just pushed this to kernel.org, so the kbuild robot should be pounding
on it soon.  It passes all my tests on bare metal, and it fails them
without crashing on Xen.

It's not exactly beautiful, but I think it's an improvement.
