On Xen PV, #DB doesn't use IST. We still need to correctly route it
depending on whether it came from user or kernel mode.

This patch gets rid of DECLARE/DEFINE_IDTENTRY_XEN -- it was too
hard to follow the logic. Instead, route #DB and NMI through
DECLARE/DEFINE_IDTENTRY_RAW on Xen, and do the right thing for #DB.
Also add more warnings to the exc_debug* handlers to make this type
of failure more obvious.

This fixes various forms of corruption that happen when usermode
triggers #DB on Xen PV.

Fixes: 4c0dcd8350a0 ("x86/entry: Implement user mode C entry points for #DB and #MCE")

Hello,

this patch - now in mainline as commit 13cbc0cd4a30 ("x86/entry/32: Fix
#MC and #DB wiring on x86_32") - seems to break i586 builds with
CONFIG_XEN_PV=y as xenpv_exc_nmi and xenpv_exc_debug are only defined
with CONFIG_X86_64:

[ 1279s] ld: arch/x86/entry/entry_32.o: in function `asm_xenpv_exc_nmi':
[ 1279s] /home/abuild/rpmbuild/BUILD/kernel-pae-5.8.rc4/linux-5.8-rc4/linux-obj/../arch/x86/include/asm/idtentry.h:557: undefined reference to `xenpv_exc_nmi'
[ 1279s] ld: arch/x86/entry/entry_32.o: in function `asm_xenpv_exc_debug':
[ 1279s] /home/abuild/rpmbuild/BUILD/kernel-pae-5.8.rc4/linux-5.8-rc4/linux-obj/../arch/x86/include/asm/idtentry.h:567: undefined reference to `xenpv_exc_debug'

Fix is already queued in tip/tip.git x86/urgent
