    xen/x86: use flag byte for decision whether xen_cr3 is valid
    
    Today cpu_info->xen_cr3 is either 0 to indicate %cr3 doesn't need to
    be switched on entry to Xen, or negative for keeping the value while
    indicating not to restore %cr3, or positive in case %cr3 is to be
    restored.
    
    Switch to use a flag byte instead of a negative xen_cr3 value in order
    to allow %cr3 values with the high bit set in case we want to keep TLB
    entries when using the PCID feature.
    
    This reduces the number of branches in interrupt handling and results
    in better performance (e.g. parallel make of the Xen hypervisor on my
    system was using about 3% less system time).
