[PATCH] xen: don't use privcmd_call() from xen_mc_flush()

From: Juergen Gross
Date: Wed Jun 13 2018 - 05:58:14 EST


Using privcmd_call() for a singleton multicall seems to be wrong, as
privcmd_call() is using stac()/clac() to enable hypervisor access to
Linux user space.

Add a new xen_single_call() function to be use for that purpose.
