 Module Name:	src
 Committed By:	maxv

 Modified Files:
 	src/sys/arch/amd64/amd64: locore.S
 
 Log Message:
 It appears that Xen remaps the userland %cs to 0xE033. So add it to the
 checklist. Otherwise we're going through Luexit32: %fs gets reloaded,
 which sets the FS.base to NULL, which will cause the thread to page-fault
 next time it accesses its TLS (as seen in PR/52662).
 
 This fix is not very clean, and it would be nice to understand why Xen
 remaps %cs. But I'm committing it now anyway, so that people can test.
