[Xen-devel] [PATCH] x86: make more use of wr{f,g}sbase()

["Jan Beulich" <JBeulich@xxxxxxxx>]

With suitable canonical address checks added these can also be used in
do_set_segment_base().

Also with a canonical address check now in place, there's no need for
priv_op_write_msr() to use wrmsr_safe() anymore.
