- Reset MXCSR in kernel_fpu_begin() to prevent using a stale user space value. - Prevent writing MSR_TEST_CTRL on CPUs which are not explicitly whitelisted for split lock detection. Some CPUs which do not support it crash even when the MSR is written to 0 which is the default value. - Fix the XEN PV fallout of the entry code rework - Fix the 32bit fallout of the entry code rework - Add more selftests to ensure that these entry problems don't come back. - Disable 16 bit segments on XEN PV. It's not supported because XEN PV does not implement ESPFIX64
