[Xen-devel] [PATCH] Xen i386 xen-head.S fix sections mixup

[Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Xen i386 xen-head.S fix sections mixup

xen-head.S does not come back to the data section, leaving the text section
as current section. It causes problems with a slightly enhanced DEBUG_RODATA
that supports CONFIG_HOTPLUG and bringing a CPU up after the text has been
marked read-only: reference to early_gdt_descr causes a page fault.

It applies on 2.6.22-rc2-mm2.
