[v2,3/3] x86/xen: add a dummy trampoline for Xen PV guests
Commit Message
When running as a Xen PV guest there is no need for setting up the
realmode trampoline, as realmode isn't supported in this environment.
Trying to setup the trampoline has been proven to be problematic in
some cases, especially when trying to debug early boot problems with
Xen requiring to keep the EFI boot-services memory mapped (some
firmware variants seem to claim basically all memory below 1M for boot
services).
Setup a dummy trampoline in order to make init_real_mode() happy.
In order to avoid too tight coupling between the Xen PV specific code
and the trampoline handling, modify the trampoline handling to do
nothing if the detected trampoline size is 0.
Fixes: 084ee1c641a0 ("x86, realmode: Relocator for realmode code")

With both pointing to the start of the struct, doesn't it suffice
for the above to be xen_rm_header[0]? At which point there'd be no
reason to wonder whether that struct could live in .init.data ...
