On PVH, PVHVM, at failure in the VCPUOP_register_vcpu_info hypercall
we limit the number of cpus to to MAX_VIRT_CPUS. However, if this
failure had occurred for a cpu beyond MAX_VIRT_CPUS, we continue
to function with > MAX_VIRT_CPUS.
This leads to problems at the next save/restore cycle when there
are > MAX_VIRT_CPUS threads going into stop_machine() but coming
back up there's valid state for only the first MAX_VIRT_CPUS.
This patch pulls the excess CPUs down via cpu_down().

When Xen restores a PVHVM or PVH guest, its shared_info only holds
up to 32 CPUs. The hypercall VCPUOP_register_vcpu_info allows
us to setup per-page areas for VCPUs. This means we can boot
PVH* guests with more than 32 VCPUs. During restore the per-cpu
structure is allocated freshly by the hypervisor (vcpu_info_mfn is
set to INVALID_MFN) so that the newly restored guest can make a
VCPUOP_register_vcpu_info hypercall.
However, we end up triggering this condition in Xen:
/* Run this command on yourself or on other offline VCPUS. */
if ( (v != current) && !test_bit(_VPF_down, &v->pause_flags) )
which means we are unable to setup the per-cpu VCPU structures
for running VCPUS. The Linux PV code paths makes this work by
iterating over cpu_possible in xen_vcpu_restore() with:
1) is target CPU up (VCPUOP_is_up hypercall?)
2) if yes, then VCPUOP_down to pause it
3) VCPUOP_register_vcpu_info
4) if it was down, then VCPUOP_up to bring it back up
With Xen commit 192df6f9122d ("xen/x86: allow HVM guests to use
hypercalls to bring up vCPUs") this is available for non-PV guests.
As such first check if VCPUOP_is_up is actually possible before
trying this dance.
As most of this dance code is done already in xen_vcpu_restore()
let's make it callable on PV, PVH and PVHVM.

Largely mechanical changes to aid unification of xen_vcpu_restore()
logic for PV, PVH and PVHVM.
xen_vcpu_setup(): the only change in logic is that clamp_max_cpus()
is now handled inside the "if (!xen_have_vcpu_info_placement)" block.
xen_vcpu_restore(): code movement from enlighten_pv.c to enlighten.c.
xen_vcpu_info_reset(): pulls together all the code where xen_vcpu
is set to default.

Recent discussion (http://marc.info/?l=xen-devel&m=149192184523741)
established that commit 72a9b18629 ("xen: Remove event channel
notification through Xen PCI platform device") (and thus commit
da72ff5bfc ("partially revert "xen: Remove event channel
notification through Xen PCI platform device"")) are unnecessary and,
in fact, prevent HVM guests from booting on Xen releases prior to 4.0
Therefore we revert both of those commits.
The summary of that discussion is below:
Here is the brief summary of the current situation:
Before the offending commit (72a9b18629):
1) INTx does not work because of the reset_watches path.
2) The reset_watches path is only taken if you have Xen > 4.0
3) The Linux Kernel by default will use vector inject if the hypervisor
support. So even INTx does not work no body running the kernel with
Xen > 4.0 would notice. Unless he explicitly disabled this feature
either in the kernel or in Xen (and this can only be disabled by
modifying the code, not user-supported way to do it).
After the offending commit (+ partial revert):
1) INTx is no longer support for HVM (only for PV guests).
2) Any HVM guest The kernel will not boot on Xen < 4.0 which does
not have vector injection support. Since the only other mode
supported is INTx which.
So based on this summary, I think before commit (72a9b18629) we were
in much better position from a user point of view.

Move PVHVM related code to smp_hvm.c. Drop 'static' qualifier from
xen_smp_send_reschedule(), xen_smp_send_call_function_ipi(),
xen_smp_send_call_function_single_ipi(), these functions will be moved to
common smp code when smp_pv.c is split.
