Ah - I did not realise that this "issue" had been backported to the 2.21 
branch.   Anyway, it is bad ASM in the kernel that is now being exposed. 
  Here is the fix:

sed -i "s#END(do_hypervisor_callback)#END(xen_do_hypervisor_callback)#" 
  arch/x86/kernel/entry_64.S

Whether this should be an error or warning from binutils is up to 
upstream to decide...
