There is a problem with the current implementation of stop_hz_timer in
arch/i386/kernel/time-xen.c where the hz timer can be stopped on a CPU
which has RCU callbacks pending.
This patch backports a new RCU API created to fix this problem for the
s390 implementation of stop_hz_timer and also updates the time-xen.c
implementation of stop_hz_timer to call the new API.

Some of the CPU features such as APIC, PAE, MTRR, HT are virtualized;
while others are not virtualized yet such as TM1, TM2, MCA and there are
some features which do not need virtualization such as MMX. With the
patch Guest sees only those processor features in the cpuid which are
virtualized in the hyper visor, or do not need any virtualization in
hypervisor.

device model. To support USB there are two new optional config lines
that can be added to the guest config file:
usb=1
This will enable USB without defining a specific USB device.
This option is assumed and not needed if the `usbdevice' option
is given.
usbdevice='device'
This will enable USB and also enable support for the given device.
Currently, the only two devices are `mouse' (a PS/2 mouse) and
`tablet' (an absolute pointing device). The advantage of `tablet'
is that Windows guests will automatically recognize and support this
device so specifying the config line:
usbdevice='tablet'
will create a mouse that works transparently with Windows guests
under VNC. (Linux doesn't recognize the USB tablet yet so Linux
guests under VNC will still need the Summagraphics emulation.)

1. Maintain a 'launched' software flag to select between
VMLAUNCH and VMRESUME.
2. Take more care with VMPTRLD/VMCLEAR.
Also various other fixes (e.g., safe testing of
condition codes after executing a VMX instruction).

The logic now mimics native x86 behaviour: a request to change
affinity via /proc is held until the next interrupt on that
event channel. So /proc/irq/n/smp_affinity may not change
immediately!
Other notes:
1. CPU-specific interrupts silently ignore requests to change
affinity. For example, resched0, timer0, callfunc0, ...
2. Reading smp_affinity always returns a cpumask containing
a single cpu. An event channel can only be bound to a single
cpu at a time. Neither Xen nor XenLinux implement IRQ
balancing: requires a user-space balancing daemon.

with local_event_delivery_* accessors.
Notes:
1. Still some (read-only, debug) use in keyhandler.c
2. Still accesses through current->vcpu_info.
Both above may need to be compiled only for architectures
that use event channels.

isn't a NULL pointer, but a NIL transaction ID. Compile and boot tested.

While there rearrange the ring setup order slightly to simplify error
path since netif_free() will cleanup once ring_ref is valid. And use
get_zeroed_page() instead of __get_free_page()/memset(). Handle error if
bind_evtchn_to_irqhandler() fails, as bad info->irq value is likely to
cause oops later. In create_device(), gnttab_free_grant_references()
is accidentally called twice on tx_head during cleanup from failed
gnttab_alloc_grant_references() on rx_head, which could corrupt
gnttab_free_count.

On x86 this corresponds to a maximum aligned contiguous allocation of 8MB.
This can be overridden by architectures if need be.

Advertising more CPUs than the guest is allocated hangs boot
