[Xen-devel] [patch 27/28]xen: Place vcpu_info structure into per-cpu memory, if possible



An experimental patch for Xen allows guests to place their vcpu_info
structs anywhere.  We try to use this to place the vcpu_info into the
PDA, which allows direct access.

If this works, then switch to using direct access operations for
irq_enable, disable, save_fl and restore_fl.
