[Xen-devel] [PATCH 2/6] x86: Improvements to ler debugging

[Andrew Cooper <andrew.cooper3@xxxxxxxxxx>]

 * Command line documentation for what the option does.
 * Implement a canonicalise_addr() helper and replace the opencoded use in
   sign_extend_msr()
 * Canonicalise the ler pointers and print symbol information.
