4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Andy Lutomirski <l...@kernel.org> commit 929bacec21478a72c78e4f29f98fb799bd00105a upstream. Xen PV is fundamentally incompatible with our fancy NMI code: it doesn't use IST at all, and Xen entries clobber two stack slots below the hardware frame. Drop Xen PV support from our NMI code entirely.
