This patch breaks X in my test guest image here. The failing Xorg.0.log file
has:

[     8.504] (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libint10.so
[     8.506] (II) Module int10: vendor="X.Org Foundation"

note the

[     8.506] (EE) VESA(0): V_BIOS address 0x0 out of range

line.

I tried reverting this patch but it doesn't revert cleanly so I checked
out the one before it in tip/master:

4440977be134 ("x86/boot/compressed/64: Introduce paging_prepare()")

With it, guest X starts just fine and Xorg.0.log has:

[     7.594] (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libint10.so
