[095/151] xen: use iret for return from 64b kernel to 32b usermode

[Greg KH]

2.6.32-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy.fitzhardinge@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 6aaf5d633bb6cead81b396d861d7bae4b9a0ba7e upstream.

If Xen wants to return to a 32b usermode with sysret it must use the
right form.  When using VCGF_in_syscall to trigger this, it looks at
the code segment and does a 32b sysret if it is FLAT_USER_CS32.
However, this is different from __USER32_CS, so it fails to return
properly if we use the normal Linux segment.

So avoid the whole mess by dropping VCGF_in_syscall and simply use
plain iret to return to usermode.
