Hi Ingo,

This is a repost of the changes for Xen's apic hooks.  This is unchanged
from the last time I posted it.

These changes allow us to route interrupts via Xen's event channel
mechanism, so that hardware interrupts can be distributed to the
appropriate guest domain.

It adds a minimal ioapic_ops interface to allow us to transform the
low-level IO-APIC accesses from mmio into hypercalls.  This is sufficient
for our needs because the accesses themselves are going to the real
hardware IO APICs, and we want all the other logic above generating
the requests.  You initially approved of this approach.

More recently, you proposed that we add a higher-level ioapic driver
abstraction to encompass not only Xen's current needs, but also to address
KVM possible use for such an interface.  This seems like a good idea in
general, but not something we can do in time for the next merge window.

I propose that you take the current minimal approach, and we can
develop something fuller when we can see what KVM's needs are, and have
enough time to do a proper job.

There are no other outstanding issues.

Please pull it into tip.git x86/xen/dom0/apic

Thanks,
        J
