Subject: [PATCH v3] x86/boot: skip realmode init code when running as Xen PV guest
Date:   Wed, 23 Nov 2022 12:45:23 +0100
Message-Id: <20221123114523.3467-1-jgross@suse.com>

When running as a Xen PV guest there is no need for setting up the
realmode trampoline, as realmode isn't supported in this environment.

Trying to setup the trampoline has been proven to be problematic in
some cases, especially when trying to debug early boot problems with
Xen requiring to keep the EFI boot-services memory mapped (some
firmware variants seem to claim basically all memory below 1M for boot
services).

Introduce new x86_platform_ops operations for that purpose, which can
be set to a nop by the Xen PV specific kernel boot code.

Fixes: 084ee1c641a0 ("x86, realmode: Relocator for realmode code")
