Subject: [PATCHv2] x86/xen: Remove use of VLAs
There's an ongoing effort to remove VLAs[1] from the kernel to eventually
turn on -Wvla. It turns out, the few VLAs in use in Xen produce only a
single entry array that is always bounded by GDT_SIZE. Clean up the code to
get rid of the VLA and the loop.

v2: Updated the code to reflect that we know size is always bounded by
GDT_SIZE. This gets rid of the array and the loop. I can throw a few
more comments in there if someone thinks they need to be updated.
