    x86/entry: Track the IST-ness of an entry for the exit paths
    
    Use %r12 to hold an ist_exit boolean.  This register is zero elsewhere in 
the
    entry/exit asm, so it only needs setting in the IST path.
    
    As this is subtle and fragile, add check_ist_exit() to be used in debugging
    builds to cross-check that the ist_exit boolean matches the entry vector.
    
    Write check_ist_exit() it in C, because it's debug only and the logic more
    complicated than I care to maintain in asm.
    
    For now, we only need to use this signal in the exit-to-Xen path, but some
    exit-to-guest paths happen in IST context too.  Check the correctness in all
    exit paths to avoid the logic bit-rotting.

    x86/entry: Partially revert IST-exit checks
    
    The patch adding check_ist_exit() didn't account for the fact that
    reset_stack_and_jump() is not an ABI-preserving boundary.  The IST-ness in
    %r12 doesn't survive into the next context, and is a stale value C.
    
    This shows up in Gitlab CI for the Clang build:
    
      https://gitlab.com/xen-project/people/andyhhp/xen/-/jobs/5112783827
    
    and in OSSTest for GCC 8:
    
      
http://logs.test-lab.xenproject.org/osstest/logs/183045/test-amd64-amd64-xl-qemuu-debianhvm-amd64/serial-pinot0.log
    
    There's no straightforward way to reconstruct the IST-exit-ness on the
    exit-to-guest path after a context switch.  For now, we only need IST-exit 
on
    the return-to-Xen path.

exit paths")
