Subject[GIT PULL] Fix Xen boot with CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR
Hi Ingo,

Here's a couple of little changes which prevents an early boot crash
under Xen, due to the stackprotector preamble using segment registers
before they're set up. I only need to disable stackprotector for a
handful of functions, but unfortunately it looks like it can only be
disabled on a per-file basis.

Thanks,
J
