Hi all,

This is V7 of PVH patches for xen. These are xen changes to support
boot of a 64bit PVH domU guest. Built on top of unstable git c/s:
a12d15d8c1d512a4ed6498b39f9058f69a1c1f6c

New in V7:
   - Dropped all dom0 patches from V6.
   - Dropped tool changes. They will need to be broken down into multiple
     patches as asked by Ian C, and I'll submit them separately.
   - Reorg of patches to make them smaller and more centered around a logical 
     change, instead of focussing more around changes in a file.

Coming in future after this is done, two patchsets: 
   - 1) tools changes and 2) dom0 changes.

Phase I:
   - Establish a baseline of something working. Note, HAP is required for PVH.

Repeating from before:

As a result of V3, there were two new action items on the linux side before
it will boot as PVH: 1)MSI-X fixup and 2)load KERNEL_CS righ after gdt switch.

As a result of V5 a new fixme:
  - MMIO ranges above the highest covered e820 address must be mapped for dom0.

Following fixme's exist in the code:
  - Add support for more memory types in arch/x86/hvm/mtrr.c.
  - arch/x86/time.c: support more tsc modes.
  - check_guest_io_breakpoint(): check/add support for IO breakpoint.
  - implement arch_get_info_guest() for pvh.
  - vmxit_msr_read(): during AMD port go thru hvm_msr_read_intercept() again.
  - verify bp matching on emulated instructions will work same as HVM for
    PVH guest. see instruction_done() and check_guest_io_breakpoint().

Following remain to be done for PVH:
   - AMD port.
   - Avail PVH dom0 of posted interrupts. (This will be a big win).
   - 32bit support in both linux and xen. Xen changes are tagged "32bitfixme".
   - Add support for monitoring guest behavior. See hvm_memory_event* functions
     in hvm.c
   - Change xl to support other modes other than "phy:".
   - Hotplug support
   - Migration of PVH guests.

Thanks for all the help,
Mukesh
