x86/entry/64: De-Xen-ify our NMI code
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Xen PV is fundamentally incompatible with our fancy NMI code: it
doesn't use IST at all, and Xen entries clobber two stack slots
below the hardware frame.

Drop Xen PV support from our NMI code entirely.
