[Xen-devel] [PATCH] Clean page for GDT

["Nakajima, Jun" <jun.nakajima@xxxxxxxxx>]

I observed error messages like the below, and processors were not
brought up:
 
Booting processor 1/1 rip ffffffff80100014 rsp ffff880000a55f58
(XEN) DOM0: (file=mm.c, line=1497) Error while validating pfn 2e23 for
type 00000000a0000000. caf=80000003 taf=00000000a0000001
boot error: -22

The patch attaced fixes this problem, and the processors are brought up
on x86_64 SMP dom0. Probably we should need the equivalent one for
x86_32.
