Hi,
can you explain what this chunk is for? It appears to be for the non-xen
case due to the ifndef, yet it seems to visibly change the code for
that... that deserves an explanation for sure ...
This inverts the logic of the test so that the lines:
preempt_stop
call math_state_restore
jmp ret_from_exception
can be hoisted out of the ifdef and shared in the Xen and non-Xen cases.
