Jan Beulich e2c26ddd4e x86/Xen: swap NX determination and GDT setup on BSP
commit ae897fda4f507e4b239f0bdfd578b3688ca96fb4 upstream.

xen_setup_gdt(), via xen_load_gdt_boot(), wants to adjust page tables.
For this to work when NX is not available, x86_configure_nx() needs to
be called first.

[jgross] Note that this is a revert of 36104cb9012a82e73 ("x86/xen:
Delay get_cpu_cap until stack canary is established"), which is possible
now that we no longer support running as PV guest in 32-bit mode.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
