I really would like retbleed=stuff to work under Xen PV, because then we
can arrange to start turning off some even more expensive mitigations
that Xen does on behalf of guests.

I have a suspicion that these paths will be used under Xen PV, even if
only for dom0.  The abstraction for host S3/4/5 are not great.  That
said, at all points that guest code is executing, even after a logical
S3 resume, it will have a good GS_BASE  (Assuming the teardown logic
doesn't self-clobber.)

The bigger issue with stuff accounting is that nothing AFAICT accounts
for the fact that any hypercall potentially empties the RSB in otherwise
synchronous program flow.
