If we want to stop the tick further idle, we need to be
able to account the cputime without using the tick.
Virtual based cputime accounting solves that problem by
hooking into kernel/user boundaries.
However implementing CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING require
low level hooks and involves more overhead. But we already
have a generic context tracking subsystem that is required
for RCU needs by archs which plan to shut down the tick
outside idle.
This patch implements a generic virtual based cputime
accounting that relies on these generic kernel/user hooks.
There are some upsides of doing this:
- This requires no arch code to implement CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING
if context tracking is already built (already necessary for RCU in full
tickless mode).
- We can rely on the generic context tracking subsystem to dynamically
(de)activate the hooks, so that we can switch anytime between virtual
and tick based accounting. This way we don't have the overhead
of the virtual accounting when the tick is running periodically.
And one downside:
- There is probably more overhead than a native virtual based cputime
accounting. But this relies on hooks that are already set anyway.

All the original Xen headers have xen_ulong_t as unsigned long type, however
when they have been imported in Linux, xen_ulong_t has been replaced with
unsigned long. That might work for x86 and ia64 but it does not for arm.
Bring back xen_ulong_t and let each architecture define xen_ulong_t as they
see fit.
Also explicitly size pointers (__DEFINE_GUEST_HANDLE) to 64 bit.
Changes in v3:
- remove the incorrect changes to multicall_entry;
- remove the change to apic_physbase.

For the hypervisor to take advantage of the MWAIT support it needs
to extract from the ACPI _CST the register address. But the
hypervisor does not have the support to parse DSDT so it relies on
the initial domain (dom0) to parse the ACPI Power Management information
and push it up to the hypervisor. The pushing of the data is done
by the processor_harveset_xen module which parses the information that
the ACPI parser has graciously exposed in 'struct acpi_processor'.
For the ACPI parser to also expose the Cx states for MWAIT, we need
to expose the MWAIT capability (leaf 1). Furthermore we also need to
expose the MWAIT_LEAF capability (leaf 5) for cstate.c to properly
function.
The hypervisor could expose these flags when it traps the XEN_EMULATE_PREFIX
operations, but it can't do it since it needs to be backwards compatible.
Instead we choose to use the native CPUID to figure out if the MWAIT
capability exists and use the XEN_SET_PDC query hypercall to figure out
if the hypervisor wants us to expose the MWAIT_LEAF capability or not.
Note: The XEN_SET_PDC query was implemented in c/s 23783:
"ACPI: add _PDC input override mechanism".
With this in place, instead of
C3 ACPI IOPORT 415
we get now
C3:ACPI FFH INTEL MWAIT 0x20
Note: The cpu_idle which would be calling the mwait variants for idling
never gets set b/c we set the default pm_idle to be the hypercall variant.

Right now xen's use of the x86 and ia64 handle_irq is just bizarre and very
fragile as it is very non-obvious the function exists and is is used by
code out in drivers/.... Luckily using handle_irq is completely unnecessary,
and we can just use the generic irq apis instead.
This still leaves drivers/xen/events.c as a problematic user of the generic
irq apis it has "static struct irq_info irq_info[NR_IRQS]" but that can be
fixed some other time.

This patch fixes the following compilation error introduced by a PCI related

xen related definitions from the arch header file
(x86/include/asm/xen/hypervisor.h) to the common header file
(include/xen/xen.h). So ia64/xen also follows it.
