Hi. This patch series addresses the bug reported as
http://bugzilla.xensource.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1392
Please test it.

It includes some clean ups and a reimplementation of fpswa hypercall.
When fp fault/trap occurs, xen vmm tries to get a bundle in question
from guest virtual address space. It sometimes fails because of
I/D tlb cache. In that case inject the fault/trap into a guest
and let a guest to call fpswa hypercall.
    
thanks
