Subject: x86/xen: don't write ptes directly in 32-bit PV guests
Git-commit: f7c90c2aa4004808dff777ba6ae2c7294dd06851
Patch-mainline: v4.19-rc2
References: bsc#1110006
In some cases 32-bit PAE PV guests still write PTEs directly instead of
using hypercalls. This is especially bad when clearing a PTE as this is
done via 32-bit writes which will produce intermediate L1TF attackable
PTEs.
Change the code to use hypercalls instead.
