[Xen-devel] [PATCH] x86/boot: Rationalise stack handling during early boot

[Andrew Cooper <andrew.cooper3@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The top (numerically higher addresses) of cpu0_stack[] contains the BSP's
cpu_info block.  Logic in Xen expects this to be initialised to 0, but this
area of stack is also used during early boot.

Update the head.S code to avoid using the cpu_info block.  Additionally,
update the stack_start variable to match, which avoids __high_start() and
efi_arch_post_exit_boot() needing to make the adjustment manually.

Finally, leave a big warning by the BIOS BSS initialisation, because it is by
no means obvious that the stack doesn't survive the REP STOS.
