[Xen-devel] [PATCH, resend] x86: remove use of per-domain lock from page table entry handling



This is a re-send of an earlier sent patch that was deemed to be too
complex, yet a simpler mechanism didn't find its way into the code base
so far. This version has two bugs fixed and removes the lock also from
do_mmuext_op(), but continues to not be a complete implementation: At
least the use of the domain lock in do_set_gdt() still needs looking
at, as do the assertions of the lock being held in
create_grant_{pte,va}_mapping().

This change results in a 5% performance improvement for kernel builds
on dual-socket quad-core systems (which is what I used for reference
for both 32- and 64-bit). Along with that, the amount of time reported
as spent in the kernel gets reduced by almost 25% (the fraction of time
spent in the kernel is generally reported significantly higher under
Xen than with a native kernel).
