Hi Keir, this patch changes common code of xen hypervisor, but seems we
have to, because current call to do_boot_vcpu is always from domains,
however, for SMP VMX guest AP bring up, we need call it from xen
hypervisor,
so we'd like to split it.
What's your opinion?

I'd like to see it in the context of a larger patch that shows how the new 'internal' function is used. I don't really have anything against this approach, so we'll probably take the patch with no complaint.

I'm going to be changing that part of the hypercall interface shortly (to introduce a new more generic 'vcpu_op' hypercall). It is bound to conflict with your patch, but you should finc it easy to fix up.
