The aim of this patch is to define a stable way in which PVH is
going to do AP bringup.

Since we are running inside of a HVM container, PVH should only need
to set flags, cr3 and user_regs in order to bring up a vCPU, the rest
can be set once the vCPU is started using the bare metal methods.
Additionally, the guest can also set cr0 and cr4, and those values
will be appended to the default values set by Xen.

I think we still need to call hvm_set_info_guest() here -- there is
other stuff being set up, and it was called (without the extra argument
for gs_base_kernel) before the PVH patch series went in.

(See c/s 35b1e07.)

I see, I will restore the hvm_set_info_guest call, good catch.

+        }

I thought the idea was that he would set cr0, cr3, and cr4 for all HVM
guests, rather than special-casing PVH guests?

Well, I was just trying to make the PVH AP bringup interface stable,
without messing much with HVM (not that we shouldn't aim to do it for
HVM guests also), but I think the main concern now is releasing 4.4 with
a stable interface for PVH guests.

Right -- I guess it's better safe than sorry wrt changing the HVM paths; we can make it PVH for now, and make it more generic for 4.5.
