While I believe this can live in .bss as it isn't used after clearing
.bss there should either be a comment why this is save or you should
attribute it as .data, too.

Shouldn't this be E820MAX - 1?
What happens if memmap.nr_entries is already
ARRAY_SIZE(pvh_bootparams.e820_map) ?

I'd rather split out the '++' to a separate statement.

Could you add some comments about register conetnts at entry?

Any reason to use 0x10 instead of __BOOT_CS?

Alignment?

This is a rather strange construct: the NULL descriptor of the
GDT being used as space for lgdt operand.

And this comment is wrong: the NULL descriptor is at "gdt:".

Mind adding comments about the semantics of those constants?
Or use GDT_ENTRY() macro?

Is the stack size large enough? With a hypercall being executed in
xen_prepare_pvh() I doubt this will be okay.
