[Xen-devel] [PATCH v3] xpti: fix bug in double fault handling

[Juergen Gross <jgross@xxxxxxxx>]

When entering the hypervisor via the double fault handler resetting
xen_cr3 was missing. This led to switching to pv_cr3 when returning
from the next following exception, so repair this in order to allow
exception handling to work even after a double fault.
