As this is written in two locations and *really* needs to be the same,
can I suggest a

#define XEN_SYSCALL_MASK (X86_EFLAGS_VM | ... )

In processor.h

Comments like this are useful, but could easily be much shorter.

/* Set AC to reduce chance of further SMAP faults */

The fact this is the double_fault handler makes it clear that we are
dumping state.  The same goes for fatal_trap()
