[Xen-devel] [PATCH v2 2/3] x86: relax LDT check in arch_set_info_guest()

[Jan Beulich <jbeulich@suse.com>]

It is wrong for us to check the base address when there's no LDT in the
first place. Once we don't do this check anymore we can also set the
base address to a non-canonical value when the LDT is empty.

---
v2: Set v->arch.pv.ldt_base to non-canonical for an empty LDT, plus
    related necessary adjustments.
