Doh!  Of course...

I was actually thinking ahead, to where eventually xen_pv_play_dead()
can call start_cpu0(), which can be changed to automatically reset the
stack pointer like this:

SYM_CODE_START(start_cpu0)
	ANNOTATE_NOENDBR
	UNWIND_HINT_EMPTY
	movq	PER_CPU_VAR(pcpu_hot + X86_top_of_stack), %rax
	leaq	-PTREGS_SIZE(%rax), %rsp
	jmp	.Ljump_to_C_code
SYM_CODE_END(start_cpu0)

but that would only be possible be after more cleanups which converge
cpu_bringup_and_idle() with start_secondary().

The patch looks good to me.

It doesn't solve Paul's original issue where arch_cpu_idle_dead() needs
to be __noreturn.  But that should probably be a separate patch anyway.

You'll need to tell objtool that xen_cpu_bringup_again() is noreturn by
adding "xen_cpu_bringup_again" to global_noreturns[] in
tools/objtool/check.c.

(Yes it's a pain, I'll be working an improved solution to the noreturn
thing...)
