    xen/pv: Call get_cpu_address_sizes to set x86_virt/phys_bits · 405c018a

     ("x86/cpu: Prevent cpuinfo_x86::x86_phys_bits
    adjustment corruption") has moved the query and calculation of the
    x86_virt_bits and x86_phys_bits fields of the cpuinfo_x86 struct
    from the get_cpu_cap function to a new function named
    get_cpu_address_sizes.
    
    One of the call sites related to Xen PV VMs was unfortunately missed
    in the aforementioned commit. This prevents successful boot-up of
    kernel versions 4.17 and up in Xen PV VMs if CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL
    is enabled, due to the following code path:
    
      enlighten_pv.c::xen_start_kernel
        mmu_pv.c::xen_reserve_special_pages
          page.h::__pa
            physaddr.c::__phys_addr
              physaddr.h::phys_addr_valid
    
    phys_addr_valid uses boot_cpu_data.x86_phys_bits to validate physical
    addresses. boot_cpu_data.x86_phys_bits is no longer populated before
    the call to xen_reserve_special_pages due to the aforementioned commit
    though, so the validation performed by phys_addr_valid fails, which
    causes __phys_addr to trigger a BUG, preventing boot-up.
