The __switch_to function in arch/x86/kernel/process_64.c in the Linux
kernel does not properly context-switch IOPL on 64-bit PV Xen guests, which
allows local guest OS users to gain privileges, cause a denial of service
(guest OS crash), or obtain sensitive information by leveraging I/O port
access.
