[Xen-ia64-devel] [PATCH] XEN: fixed a vcpu_translate bug

["Xu, Anthony" <anthony.xu@xxxxxxxxx>]

There are some below code segments in guest OS
1.      Rsm psr.dt
                ...
2.              itc.d r18
                ...
3.              rfi

After executing instruction 1, domain is in metaphysical mode.
When executing instruction 2, VMM gets control to emulate this
instruction. Firstly VMM will try to get opcode, which may
trigger a tlb miss. At this time domain is in metaphysical mode 
and the fault address is in region 5. vcpu_translate handles this
as normal guest metaphysical mode.

It's not correct; sometimes this will make dom0 hang. 

cpu_translate should handle this situation as if 
guest is not in metaphysical mode.
