[PATCH] allow vcpu to move between pcpus (was Re: [Xen-ia64-devel] credit sched on ia64)

[Isaku Yamahata <yamahata@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This patch allows vcpu to move between pcpus.
I couldn't boot domU on credit scheduler without this patch.
This patch is only for correctness. This patch isn't efficient.

Maybe a consideration on VHPT per pcpu is needed.
- allocation of region id per domain.
  Should rid region be allocated per vcpu?
  By this, it would be unnecessary to flush when vcpu movement.
  But I think this isn't very preferable because the size of region id
  given to vcpu would be too small.

- Currently allocation of VHPT per physical cpus.
  Allocate VHPT per vcpu like vt-i domain?
  I think this is preferable, but some measuremeat should back this.

- other?

Thanks
