[Xen-devel] [PATCH 4/5] x86/HVM: properly deal with hvm_copy_*_guest_phys() errors

["Jan Beulich" <JBeulich@xxxxxxxx>]

In memory read/write handling the default case should tell the caller
that the operation cannot be handled rather than the operation having
succeeded, so that when new HVMCOPY_* states get added not handling
them explicitly will not result in errors being ignored.

In task switch emulation code stop handling some errors, but not
others.
