x86/xen: fix booting 32-bit pv guest

[PATCH] x86/xen: fix booting 32-bit pv guest

Posted by Juergen Gross 4 years ago

Commit 2f62f36e62daec ("x86/xen: Make the boot CPU idle task reliable")
introduced a regression for booting 32 bit Xen PV guests: the address
of the initial stack needs to be a virtual one.

While at it, I'd swap the ifdefs and fold x86_64 case into the one below.

I wanted to remove 32-bit PV support from the kernel soon, so I think
this can wait until then. :-)
