When running as Xen pv guest %gs is initialized some time after C code is started. Depending on stack protector usage this might be too late, resulting in page faults.
So setup %gs and MSR_GS_BASE in assembly code already.

You surely want a #ifdef __x86_64__ ? This path is common to the 32bit entry as well?
Oh, indeed! Thanks for noticing.
