Subject[PATCH 22 of 24] xen: fold xen_sysexit into xen_iret
Date
From
xen_sysexit and xen_iret were doing essentially the same thing.  Rather
than having a separate implementation for xen_sysexit, we can just strip
the stack back to an iret frame and jump into xen_iret. This removes
a lot of code and complexity - specifically, another critical region.
