x86/PV: fix/generalize guest nul selector handling
Segment bases (and limits) aren't being cleared by the loading of a nul
selector into a segment register on AMD CPUs. Therefore, if an
outgoing vCPU has a non-zero base in FS or GS and the subsequent
incoming vCPU has a non-zero but nul selector in the respective
register(s), the selector value(s) would be loaded without clearing the
segment base(s) in the hidden register portion.
Since the ABI states "zero" in its description of the fs and gs fields,
it is worth noting that the chosen approach to fix this alters the
written down ABI. I consider this preferrable over enforcing the
previously written down behavior, as nul selectors are far more likely
to be what was meant from the beginning.
The adjustments also eliminate an inconsistency between FS and GS
handling: Old code had an extra pointless (gs_base_user was always zero
when DIRTY_GS was set) conditional for GS. The old bitkeeper changeset
has no explanation for this asymmetry.
Inspired by Linux commit
e137a4d8f4dd2e277e355495b6b2cb241a8693c3.
Additionally for DS and ES a flat selector is being loaded prior to the
loading of a nul one on AMD CPUs, just as a precautionary measure
(we're not currently aware of ways for a guest to deduce the base of a
segment register which has a nul selector loaded).
