Commit 341d9b535b6c simplify reload logic while entry guest mode, it
can avoid unnecessary sync-root if KVM_REQ_MMU_RELOAD and
KVM_REQ_MMU_SYNC both set.

But, it cause a issue that when we handle 'KVM_REQ_TLB_FLUSH', the
root is invalid, it is triggered during my test:

f5f48ee15c KVM: VMX: Execute WBINVD to keep data consistency with assigned devices
Some guest device driver may leverage the "Non-Snoop" I/O, and explicitly
WBINVD or CLFLUSH to a RAM space. Since migration may occur before WBINVD or
CLFLUSH, we need to maintain data consistency either by:
1: flushing cache (wbinvd) when the guest is scheduled out if there is no
wbinvd exit, or
2: execute wbinvd on all dirty physical CPUs when guest wbinvd exits.

Currently emulator returns -1 when emulation failed or IO is needed.
Caller tries to guess whether emulation failed by looking at other
variables. Make it easier for caller to recognise error condition by
always returning -1 in case of failure. For this new emulator
internal return value X86EMUL_IO_NEEDED is introduced. It is used to
distinguish between error condition (which returns X86EMUL_UNHANDLEABLE)
and condition that requires IO exit to userspace to continue emulation.

38e20b07ef x86/xen: event channels delivery on HVM.
Set the callback to receive evtchns from Xen, using the
callback vector delivery mechanism.

The traditional way for receiving event channel notifications from Xen
is via the interrupts from the platform PCI device.
The callback vector is a newer alternative that allow us to receive
notifications on any vcpu and doesn't need any PCI support: we allocate
a vector exclusively to receive events, in the vector handler we don't
need to interact with the vlapic, therefore we avoid a VMEXIT.

bee6ab53e6 x86: early PV on HVM features initialization.
Initialize basic pv on hvm features adding a new Xen HVM specific
hypervisor_x86 structure.

Don't try to initialize xen-kbdfront and xen-fbfront when running on HVM
because the backends are not available.

c516ac5839 x86: Add i8042 pre-detection hook to x86_platform_ops
Some x86 platforms like Intel MID platforms don't have i8042 controllers,
and i8042 driver's probe to some legacy IO ports may hang the MID
processor. With this hook, i8042 driver can runtime check and skip the
probe when the pretection fail which also saves some probe time

[ hpa note: this is currently a compile-time check, which breaks the
  i386 allyesconfig build.  This patch series thus does fix a regression. ]

39ef13a4ac perf, x86: P4 PMU -- redesign cache events
To support cache events we have reserved the low 6 bits in
hw_perf_event::config (which is a part of CCCR register
configuration actually).

These bits represent Replay Event mertic enumerated in
enum P4_PEBS_METRIC. The caller should not care about
which exact bits should be set and how -- the caller
just chooses one P4_PEBS_METRIC entity and puts it into
the config. The kernel will track it and set appropriate
additional MSR registers (metrics) when needed.

The reason for this redesign was the PEBS enable bit, which
should not be set until DS (and PEBS sampling) support will
be implemented properly.

TODO
====

 - PEBS sampling (note it's tricky and works with _one_ counter only
   so for HT machines it will be not that easy to handle both threads)

 - tracking of PEBS registers state, a user might need to turn
   PEBS off completely (ie no PEBS enable, no UOP_tag) but some
   other event may need it, such events clashes and should not
   run simultaneously, at moment we just don't support such events

 - eventually export user space bits in separate header which will
   allow user apps to configure raw events more conveniently.

7475271004 x86: Drop CONFIG_MCORE2 check around setting of NET_IP_ALIGN
This patch removes the CONFIG_MCORE2 check from around NET_IP_ALIGN.  It is
based on a suggestion from Andi Kleen.  The assumption is that there are
not any x86 cores where unaligned access is really slow, and this change
would allow for a performance improvement to still exist on configurations
that are not necessarily optimized for Core 2.

ea812ca1b0 x86: Align skb w/ start of cacheline on newer core 2/Xeon Arch
x86 architectures can handle unaligned accesses in hardware, and it has
been shown that unaligned DMA accesses can be expensive on Nehalem
architectures.  As such we should overwrite NET_IP_ALIGN to resolve
this issue.
