Commit 944e0fc51a89c9827b98813d65dc083274777c7f ("x86/amd: don't set X86_BUG_SYSRET_SS_ATTRS when running under Xen") breaks Xen pv-domains on AMD processors, as a prerequisite patch from upstream wasn't added to 4.9.
Fix that by adding the prerequisite setting of X86_FEATURE_XENPV to the Xen pv early boot path.

What is the prerequsite patch's git id in Linus's tree?

I'd prefer to take whatever is in Linus's tree if at all possible.

Commit 0808e80cb760de2733c0527d2090ed2205a1eef8. It won't apply, backporting is rather easy, though.
I thought this was a patch in the middle of a larger series, but obviously I misremembered. It was the first patch of that series.
I'll send a series in case you don't object:
- revert of stable-4.9 944e0fc51a89c9827b98813d65dc083274777c7f - backport of 0808e80cb760de2733c0527d2090ed2205a1eef8 - new backport of def9331a12977770cc6132d79f8e6565871e8e38

That would be great, I'll gladly take that, thanks.
