    x86/PV: check GDT/LDT limits during emulation
    
    Accesses beyond the LDT limit originating from emulation would trigger
    the ASSERT() in pv_map_ldt_shadow_page(). On production builds such
    accesses would cause an attempt to promote the touched page (offset from
    the present LDT base address) to a segment descriptor one. If this
    happens to succeed, guest user mode would be able to elevate its
    privileges to that of the guest kernel. This is particularly easy when
    there's no LDT at all, in which case the LDT base stored internally to
    Xen is simply zero.
    
    Also adjust the ASSERT() that was triggering: It was off by one to
    begin with, and for production builds we also better use
    ASSERT_UNREACHABLE() instead with suitable recovery code afterwards.
    
    This is XSA-298.
