The current XPTI implementation isolates the directmap (and therefore a lot of
guest data), but a large quantity of CPU0's state (including its stack)
remains visible.
Furthermore, an attacker able to read .text is in a vastly superior position
to normal when it comes to fingerprinting Xen for known vulnerabilities, or
scanning for ROP/Spectre gadgets.
Collect together the entrypoints in .text.entry (currently 3x4k frames, but
can almost certainly be slimmed down), and create a common mapping which is
inserted into each per-cpu shadow. The stubs are also inserted into this
mapping by pointing at the in-use L2. This allows stubs allocated later (SMP
boot, or CPU hotplug) to work without further changes to the common mappings.
