KVM: x86/xen: allow vcpu_info content to be 'safely' copied
If the guest sets an explicit vcpu_info GPA then, for any of the first 32
vCPUs, the content of the default vcpu_info in the shared_info page must be
copied into the new location. Because this copy may race with event
delivery (which updates the 'evtchn_pending_sel' field in vcpu_info),
event delivery needs to be deferred until the copy is complete.
Happily there is already a shadow of 'evtchn_pending_sel' in kvm_vcpu_xen
that is used in atomic context if the vcpu_info PFN cache has been
invalidated so that the update of vcpu_info can be deferred until the
cache can be refreshed (on vCPU thread's the way back into guest context).
Use this shadow if the vcpu_info cache has been *deactivated*, so that
the VMM can safely copy the vcpu_info content and then re-activate the
cache with the new GPA. To do this, stop considering an inactive vcpu_info
cache as a hard error in kvm_xen_set_evtchn_fast(), and let the existing
kvm_gpc_check() fail and kick the vCPU (if necessary).
