Since part of the VMX guest initialization is running in the context of
dom0, so when we want to make sure the operation of shadow ops is
always done by vcpu0 of the guest VMX domain, we should make sure
the current vcpu0 is running in guest domain and not in the dom0.

checksums into already encrypted packets (esp4) in dom0. Obviously,
it is not possible to insert a checksum into an already encrypted
packet, so this patch inserts the checksum prior to encrypting
packets in net/ipv4/xfrm4_output.c.
To do this cleanly, the TCP/UDP header pointers need to be pointed to
the correct spot, so this functionality has been abstracted into a new
function.

This is rebased to the new PIT code now. It has the same logic as
earlier. PIT tries to catch up the missed timer ticks by injected all
the ticks one by one so that Guest time stays close to the wall clock.
But while debugging a hvm guest if you stop the guest by debugger and
then continue, the guest sees flood of interrupts compensating the
missed ticks for the stopped time. This patch just check if the guest is
being debugged, if yes then it does not try to catch up with the missed
ticks.

host.
Occasionally when injecting an IDE DMA interrupt into the guest, a
page fault occurs (e.g., because the IDT mapping is not present in
shadow pagetables). This causes an immediate vmexit and, because it
occurred during event delivery, the original VM_ENTRY_INTR_INFO_FIELD
is kept in IDT_VECTORING_INFO_FIELD.
The current code copies IDT_VECTORING_INFO_FIELD back to
VM_ENTRY_INTR_INFO_FIELD, intending that the interrupt will be
injected again on next vmresume.
However, there is a corner case: if, before the next vmresume, a timer
interrupt happened then vmx_intr_assist may overwrite the information
on VM_ENTRY_INTR_INFO_FIELD, and the IDE DMA interrupt is effectively
lost.
This patch checks the IDT_VECTORING_INFO_FIELD in vmx_intr_assist and,
if it is set, copies it to VM_ENTRY_INTR_INFO_FIELD and returns.

MP enabled kernel. In such situations we should have a workaround to
guarantee hvm guests will not detect MP.
For example, in the absence of ACPI and MPS the installation code in some
linux distributions key off the presence of cpuid edx/HTT bit (indicating
the presence of Hyper-Threading Technology) to determine if another
logical processor is present and if so load an MP enabled kernel instead
of a uniprocessor kernel. SMBIOS is also looked at for the same purpose
and presents a potential problem as well. While both approaches for
selecting an MP kernel are debatable (since using MPS or ACPI have long
been the standard for MP detection), these approaches are something we
have to live and work around with because making a change in the fully
virtualized guest is not an option.
To solve the problem we need to hide all secondary processors from the hvm
guest. Since the hvm does not surface MPS tables, we only need to deal
with ACPI, cpuid HTT, and possibly SMBIOS. (I did not have time right
now to look closely at the hvm BIOS to know if SMBIOS is also going to be
a problem.)
Also fixes a logic problem the code path where apic=0 was not
being handled correctly (vmx path only).
