[v4,5/8] x86: introduce x86_seg_sys

Commit Message

Jan Beulich Jan. 11, 2024, 9:01 a.m. UTC

To represent the USER-MSR bitmap access, a new segment type needs
introducing, behaving like x86_seg_none in terms of address treatment,
but behaving like a system segment for page walk purposes (implicit
supervisor-mode access).

This feels a little fragile: Of course I did look through uses of the
enumerators, and I didn't find further places which would need
adjustment, but I'm not really sure I didn't miss any place.

v3: New.
