In some cases, we can end up in a vicious cycle of fatal_trap()s
within fatal_trap()s. Panic after a certain number of attempts.

Implement a simpler interface for the hypercalls to ACM. I put the
parameters to all hypercalls into a union. On top of this I have
implemented a shim layer for enabling ACM hypercalls on PPC.

stage of migration in Xend. The problem was cause by a deletion of the VM domain
ID which is used by testDevicecompleComplete ->deviceIDs->backendRoot() to get
the virtual backend device path. The virtual backend device path is used to
check if a device still exists in xenstore.

This change implements the VCPUOP_register_vcpu_info vcpu_op. This
allows a guest to choose where each VCPU's vcpu_info structure is
placed within its address space, allowing it to put it somewhere which
is easily accessible via some per-cpu data access mechanism.

This knowledge will be useful to allow us to pre-seed the protocol

ASIDs partition the physical TLB for SVM. In the current implementation
ASIDs are used to reduce the number of TLB flushes. Each time the
guest's virtual address space changes (e.g. due to an INVLPG,
MOV-TO-{CR3, CR4} operation), instead of flushing the TLB, a new ASID is
assigned. This reduces the number of TLB flushes to at most 1/#ASIDs
(currently 1/64). The biggest advantage is that hot parts of the
hypervisor's code and data remain in the TLB.

CSTAR is an unused MSR in 64-bit mode on Intel's EM64T, hence there's
no need to save/restore this MSR during context switches. Mimic real
hardware by retaining the value written for eventual guest OS reads.

Introduce a per-CPU shadow of what is currently in EFER, as context
switch code must re-write this MSR so that all guests run with
appropriate EFER.SCE and EFER.NX settings. Remove EFER from the set of
MSRs that VMX deals with in a generic fashion.
