Subject: x86/xen: Add unwind hint annotations

From: Josh Poimboeuf <[email protected]>

commit abbe1cac6214d81d2f4e149aba64a8760703144e upstream.

Add unwind hint annotations to the xen head code so the ORC unwinder can read head_64.o.

hypercall_page needs empty annotations at 32-byte intervals to match the 'xen_hypercall_*' ELF functions at those locations.
