ee523ca1e4 xen: implement a debug-interrupt handler
Xen supports the notion of a debug interrupt which can be triggered
from the console.  For now this is implemented to show pending events,
masks and each CPU's pending event set.

e2a81baf66 xen: support sysenter/sysexit if hypervisor does
64-bit Xen supports sysenter for 32-bit guests, so support its
use.  (sysenter is faster than int $0x80 in 32-on-64.)

sysexit is still not supported, so we fake it up using iret.

Change iret implementation to not be dependent on direct-access vcpu
structure.

9f79991d41 xen: deal with stale cr3 values when unpinning pagetables
When a pagetable is no longer in use, it must be unpinned so that its
pages can be freed.  However, this is only possible if there are no
stray uses of the pagetable.  The code currently deals with all the
usual cases, but there's a rare case where a vcpu is changing cr3, but
is doing so lazily, and the change hasn't actually happened by the time
the pagetable is unpinned, even though it appears to have been completed.

This change adds a second per-cpu cr3 variable - xen_current_cr3 -
which tracks the actual state of the vcpu cr3.  It is only updated once
the actual hypercall to set cr3 has been completed.  Other processors
wishing to unpin a pagetable can check other vcpu's xen_current_cr3
values to see if any cross-cpu IPIs are needed to clean things up.

[ Stable folks: 2.6.23 bugfix ]

f0d7339427 xen: yield to IPI target if necessary
When sending a call-function IPI to a vcpu, yield if the vcpu isn't
running.

8965c1c095 paravirt: clean up lazy mode handling
Currently, the set_lazy_mode pv_op is overloaded with 5 functions:
 1. enter lazy cpu mode
 2. leave lazy cpu mode
 3. enter lazy mmu mode
 4. leave lazy mmu mode
 5. flush pending batched operations

This complicates each paravirt backend, since it needs to deal with
all the possible state transitions, handling flushing, etc. In
particular, flushing is quite distinct from the other 4 functions, and
seems to just cause complication.

This patch removes the set_lazy_mode operation, and adds "enter" and
"leave" lazy mode operations on mmu_ops and cpu_ops.  All the logic
associated with enter and leaving lazy states is now in common code
(basically BUG_ONs to make sure that no mode is current when entering
a lazy mode, and make sure that the mode is current when leaving).
Also, flush is handled in a common way, by simply leaving and
re-entering the lazy mode.

The result is that the Xen, lguest and VMI lazy mode implementations
are much simpler.
