7eb7ce4d2e xen: correctly check for pending events when restoring irq flags
In xen_restore_fl_direct(), xen_force_evtchn_callback() was being
called even if no events were pending.  This resulted in (depending on
workload) about a 100 times as many xen_version hypercalls as
necessary.

Fix this by correcting the sense of the conditional jump.

This seems to give a significant performance benefit for some
workloads.

There is some subtle tricksy "..since the check here is trying to
check both pending and masked in a single cmpw, but I think this is
correct. It will call check_events now only when the combined
mask+pending word is 0x0001 (aka unmasked, pending)." (Ian)

130ace11a9 x86: style cleanups for xen assemblies
Make the following style cleanups:

* drop unnecessary //#include from xen-asm_32.S
* compulsive adding of space after comma
* reformat multiline comments

5393744b71 xen: make direct versions of irq_enable/disable/save/restore to common code
Now that x86-64 has directly accessible percpu variables, it can also
implement the direct versions of these operations, which operate on a
vcpu_info structure directly embedded in the percpu area.

In fact, the 64-bit versions are more or less identical, and so can be
shared.  The only two differences are:
 1. xen_restore_fl_direct takes its argument in eax on 32-bit, and rdi on 64-bit.
    Unfortunately it isn't possible to directly refer to the 2nd lsb of rdi directly
    (as you can with %ah), so the code isn't quite as dense.
 2. check_events needs to variants to save different registers.

b77797fb2b xen: fold xen_sysexit into xen_iret
xen_sysexit and xen_iret were doing essentially the same thing.  Rather
than having a separate implementation for xen_sysexit, we can just strip
the stack back to an iret frame and jump into xen_iret.  This removes
a lot of code and complexity - specifically, another critical region.

0f2c876952 xen: jump to iret fixup
Use jmp rather than call for the iret fixup, so its consistent with
the sysexit fixup, and it simplifies the stack (which is already
complex).

e2a81baf66 xen: support sysenter/sysexit if hypervisor does
64-bit Xen supports sysenter for 32-bit guests, so support its
use.  (sysenter is faster than int $0x80 in 32-on-64.)

sysexit is still not supported, so we fake it up using iret.

04c44a080d xen: fix RMW when unmasking events
xen_irq_enable_direct and xen_sysexit were using "andw $0x00ff,
XEN_vcpu_info_pending(vcpu)" to unmask events and test for pending ones
in one instuction.

Unfortunately, the pending flag must be modified with a locked operation
since it can be set by another CPU, and the unlocked form of this
operation was causing the pending flag to get lost, allowing the processor
to return to usermode with pending events and ultimately deadlock.

The simple fix would be to make it a locked operation, but that's rather
costly and unnecessary.  The fix here is to split the mask-clearing and
pending-testing into two instructions; the interrupt window between
them is of no concern because either way pending or new events will
be processed.

This should fix lingering bugs in using direct vcpu structure access too.

[ Stable: needed in 2.6.24.x ]
