mainlining shenanigans

- 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

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.
