this problem still reproduces.

i've pushed out all fixes into tip/x86/xen-64bit. That branch combined with the config above still reproduces the build failure above.

Subject: x86_64: fix non-paravirt compilation

Make sure SWAPGS and PARAVIRT_ADJUST_EXCEPTION_FRAME are properly
defined when CONFIG_PARAVIRT is off.

Fixes Ingo's build failure:
