Recent Linux tries to make use of this, and has no way of getting at
these bits without Xen assisting it.
There doesn't appear to be a way to obtain the same information from
UEFI.

- no need for calling nestedhvm_setup() explicitly (can be a normal
init-call, and can be __init)
- calling _xmalloc() for multi-page, page-aligned memory regions is
inefficient - use alloc_xenheap_pages() instead
- albeit an allocation error is unlikely here, add error handling
nevertheless (and have nestedhvm_vcpu_initialise() bail if an error
occurred during setup)
- nestedhvm_enabled() must no access d->arch.hvm_domain without first
checking that 'd' actually represents a HVM domain

Use it to replace x86-specific early_boot boolean variable.
Also use it to detect suspend/resume case during cpu offline/online
to avoid unnecessarily breaking vcpu and cpupool affinities.

... since it is pointless to have each arch declare them on their own
(and now and the - see ia64 - forget to do so).

By making the macro properly advertise the use of the input symbol to
the compiler, it is no longer necessary for them to be global if
they're defined and used in just one source file.

Largely as a result of the continuing resistance of Linux maintainers
to accept a microcode loading patch for pv-ops Xen kernels, this
follows the suggested route and provides a means to load microcode
updates without the assistance of Dom0, thus also addressing eventual
problems in the hardware much earlier.
This leverages the fact that via the multiboot protocol another blob
of data can be easily added in the form of just an extra module. Since
microcode data cannot reliably be recognized by looking at the
provided data, this requires (in the non-EFI case) the use of a
command line parameter ("ucode=<number>") to identify which of the
modules is to be parsed for an eventual microcode update (in the EFI
case the module is being identified in the config file, and hence the
command line argument, if given, will be ignored).
This required to adjust the XSM module determination logic accordingly.
The format of the data to be provided is the raw binary blob already
used for AMD CPUs, and the output of the intel-microcode2ucode utility
for the Intel case (either the per-(family,model,stepping) file or -
to make things easier for distro-s integration-wise - simply the
concatenation of all of them).
In order to not convert the spin_lock() in microcode_update_cpu() (and
then obviously also all other uses on microcode_mutex) to
spin_lock_irqsave() (which would be undesirable for the hypercall
context in which the function also runs), the boot time handling gets
done using a tasklet (instead of using on_selected_cpus()).

The former is the runtime equivalent of NR_CPUS (and users of NR_CPUS,
where necessary, get adjusted accordingly), while the latter is for the
sole use of determining the allocation size when dynamically allocating
CPU masks (done later in this series).
Adjust accessors to use either of the two to bound their bitmap
operations - which one gets used depends on whether accessing the bits
in the gap between nr_cpu_ids and nr_cpumask_bits is benign but more
efficient.

Move all extern declarations into appropriate header files.
This also fixes up a few places where the caller and the definition
had different signatures.

This means suppressing the uses in time_calibration_tsc_rendezvous(),
cstate_restore_tsc(), and synchronize_tsc_slave(), and fixes a boot
hang of Linux Dom0 when loading processor.ko on such systems that
have support for C states above C1.

... decreasing cache footprint. As a prerequisite this requires making
cmdline_parse() a little more flexible.
Also remove a few variables altogether, and adjust sections
annotations for several others.

mapping
The (Dom0 only for now) kernel can indicate that it doesn't need its
initrd mapped through a newly added ELF note - it gets passed the PFN
of the initrd in this case instead of the virtual address.
Even for kernels not making use of the new feature, the initrd will
no longer get copied into the initial mapping, but the memory it lives
in will get assigned to and mapped for the guest instead.

By doing so, we're no longer restricted to be able to place all boot
loader modules into the low 1Gb/4Gb (32-/64-bit) of memory, nor is
there a dependency anymore on where the boot loader places the
modules.
We're also no longer restricted to copy the modules into a place below
4Gb, nor to put them all together into a single piece of memory.
Further it allows even the 32-bit Dom0 kernel to be loaded anywhere in
physical memory (except if it doesn't support PAE-above-4G).

The significant remaining culprits for x86 are credit2, hpet, and
percpu-area subsystems. To be dealt with in a separate patch.
