[Xen-devel] [PATCH 03/18] xen/arm: Avoid setting/clearing HCR_RW at every context switch

[Wei Chen <Wei.Chen@xxxxxxx>]

The HCR_EL2 flags for 64-bit and 32-bit domains are different. But
when we initialized the HCR_EL2 for vcpu0 of Dom0 and all vcpus of
DomU in vcpu_initialise, we didn't know the domain's address size
information. We had to use compatible flags to initialize HCR_EL2,
and set HCR_RW for 64-bit domain or clear HCR_RW for 32-bit domain
at every context switch.

But, after we added the HCR_EL2 to vcpu's context, this behaviour
seems a little fussy. We can update the HCR_RW bit in vcpu's context
as soon as we get the domain's address size to avoid setting/clearing
HCR_RW at every context switch.
