xen/pvh: Secondary VCPU bringup (non-bootup CPUs)
The VCPU bringup protocol follows the PV with certain twists. From xen/include/public/arch-x86/xen.h: Also note that when calling DOMCTL_setvcpucontext and VCPU_initialise for HVM and PVH guests, not all information in this structure is updated: - For HVM guests, the structures read include: fpu_ctxt (if VGCT_I387_VALID is set), flags, user_regs, debugreg[*] - PVH guests are the same as HVM guests, but additionally use ctrlreg[3] to set cr3. All other fields not used should be set to 0. This is what we do. We piggyback on the 'xen_setup_gdt' - but modify a bit - we need to call 'load_percpu_segment' so that 'switch_to_new_gdt' can load per-cpu data-structures. It has no effect on the VCPU0. We also piggyback on the %rdi register to pass in the CPU number - so that when we bootup a new CPU, the cpu_bringup_and_idle will have passed as the first parameter the CPU number (via %rdi for 64-bit).
