[Xen-devel] [Patch v2] x86/boot: Explicitly clean pcpu stacks in debug builds

[Andrew Cooper <andrew.cooper3@xxxxxxxxxx>]

This reduces confusion when looking at a hexdump of the pcpu stacks and
wondering were on earth some of the junk was coming from.  Also leave some
grep fodder for finding where the BSP switches stack (because it took me far
longer to find than I care to admit to)

Changes since v1: Brackets around shift operation, and correct the calculation
for cpu0_stack, both noticed by Jan Beulich.
