[Xen-devel] [PATCH v4] psr: fix bug which may cause crash

[Yi Sun <yi.y.sun@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

During test, we found a crash on Xen with below trace.

(XEN) Panic on CPU 20:
(XEN) GENERAL PROTECTION FAULT
(XEN) [error_code=0000]
(XEN) ****************************************

The bug happens when CDP and MBA co-exist and MBA COS_MAX is bigger
than CDP COS_MAX. E.g. MBA has 8 COS registers but CDP only have 6.
When setting MBA throttling value for the 7th guest, the value array
would be:
    +------------------+------------------+--------------+
    | Data default val | Code default val | MBA throttle |
    +------------------+------------------+--------------+

Then, COS id 7 will be selected for writting the values. We should
avoid writting CDP data/code valules to COS id 7 MSR because it
exceeds the CDP COS_MAX.
