    x86/ldt: Fix small LDT allocation for Xen · f454b478
    Jan Beulich authored
    While the following commit:
    
      37868fe1 ("x86/ldt: Make modify_ldt synchronous")
    
    added a nice comment explaining that Xen needs page-aligned
    whole page chunks for guest descriptor tables, it then
    nevertheless used kzalloc() on the small size path.
    
    As I'm unaware of guarantees for kmalloc(PAGE_SIZE, ) to return
    page-aligned memory blocks, I believe this needs to be switched
    back to __get_free_page() (or better get_zeroed_page()).
