All of this may end up confusing the first load_segments() to run on
the BSP after resume, in particular allowing a non-nul selector value
to be left in %fs.
Alongside %ss, also put all other data segment registers into the same
state that the boot and CPU bringup paths put them in.

I don't think the comment is helpful, not least because it refers to a
broken behaviour in load_segemnts() which is soon going to change anyway.
Well, I can drop it. I merely thought I'd be nice and comment my
code once in a while (and the comment could be dropped / adjusted
when load_segments() changes)...
We've literally just loaded the GDT, at which point reloading all
segments *is* the expected thing to do.
In a way, unless some/all are assumed to already hold a nul selector.
I'd recommend that the diff be simply:
diff --git a/xen/arch/x86/acpi/wakeup_prot.S

So I had specifically elected to not put the addition there, to make
sure the stack would get established first. But seeing both Roger
and you ask me to do otherwise - well, so be it then.
There is no IDT. Any fault is will be triple, irrespective of the exact
code layout.
This sequence actually matches what we have in __high_start().
I don't think it is wise to write code which presumes that
__HYPERVISOR_DS64 is 0 (it happens to be, but could easily be 0xe010 as
well), or that the trampoline has fixed behaviours for the segments.
Hello Jan and Andrew,
Is there anything I can do to help with the delivery/merging of this patch?
If it would help, I can prepare and publish a patch according to Andrew's
comments. Given that the patch is not my work though, I assume that it
would be appropriate for me credit both of you in the commit message and
add a Signed-off-by tag in the commit message for each of you.
