your 64bit xen_write_cr3_init, is just xen_write_cr3 without
xen_get_user_pgd calling.
plus set xen_write_cr3 to ops.write_cr3.

so if you could have way to find out when xen_get_user_pgd could be used,
new xen_write_cr3_init need to check that, then set ops.write_cr3 and
call ops.write_cr3
otherwise will still call slim version without update ops.write_cr3
and bail out early.

Thanks
