Fix injection of guest faults resulting from failed injection of a

previous event. We enter an infinite loop if the original failed
injection cannot be fixed up by Xen (e.g., because it's not a shadow
pagetable issue).

   The RHEL4 HVM guest hang issue was actually a side effect of
change-set 9699. In the rhel4 guest hang rc.sysinit init-script was
calls kmodule program to probe the hardware. The kmodule uses the kudzu
library call probeDevices(). For probing the graphics hardware in the
vbe_get_mode_info() function, sets up the environment and goes into the
vm86 mode to do the int x10 call. For returning back to protected mode
it sets up a int 0xff call. At the time of calling the int 0xff the
guest process pages were not filled up. And it was causing an infinite
loop of vmexits with the IDT_VECTORING_INFO on the int 0xff instruction.

        The reason for the infinite loop is changeset 9699. With that
the guest page fault was always getting overridden by the int 0xff gp
fault coming from the IDT_VECTORING_INFO. With the attached patch if VMM
is injecting exceptions like page faults or gp faults then
IDT_VECTORING_INFO field does not override it, and that breaks the
vmexit infinite loop for the rhel4.
