From: Joerg Roedel <jroe...@suse.de>

The #VC exception will trigger very early in head_64.S, when the first
CPUID instruction is executed. When secondary CPUs boot, they already
load the real system IDT, which has the #VC handler configured to be
using an IST stack. IST stacks require a TSS to be loaded, to set up the
TSS early for bringing up the secondary CPUs. Use the RW version of
early, until cpu_init() switches to the RO mapping.

On the boot CPU the TSS will also be loaded early, but not used as the
the early #VC handlers do not use IST stacks.
