xen64: add pvop for swapgs
swapgs is a no-op under Xen, because the hypervisor makes sure the right version of %gs is current when switching between user and kernel modes. This means that the swapgs "implementation" can be inlined and used when the stack is unsafe (usermode). Unfortunately, it means that disabling patching will result in a non-booting kernel...
