Boris Ostrovsky 3dbd8204af xen: Move xen_have_vector_callback definition to enlighten.c
Commit 84d582d236 ("xen: Revert commits da72ff5bfc and
72a9b186292d") defined xen_have_vector_callback in enlighten_hvm.c.
Since guest-type-neutral code refers to this variable this causes
build failures when CONFIG_XEN_PVHVM is not defined.

Moving xen_have_vector_callback definition to enlighten.c resolves
this issue.

Boris Ostrovsky 84d582d236 xen: Revert commits da72ff5bfc and 72a9b18629
Recent discussion (http://marc.info/?l=xen-devel&m=149192184523741)
established that commit 72a9b18629 ("xen: Remove event channel
notification through Xen PCI platform device") (and thus commit
da72ff5bfc ("partially revert "xen: Remove event channel
notification through Xen PCI platform device"")) are unnecessary and,
in fact, prevent HVM guests from booting on Xen releases prior to 4.0

Therefore we revert both of those commits.

The summary of that discussion is below:

  Here is the brief summary of the current situation:

  Before the offending commit (72a9b18629):

  1) INTx does not work because of the reset_watches path.
  2) The reset_watches path is only taken if you have Xen > 4.0
  3) The Linux Kernel by default will use vector inject if the hypervisor
     support. So even INTx does not work no body running the kernel with
     Xen > 4.0 would notice. Unless he explicitly disabled this feature
     either in the kernel or in Xen (and this can only be disabled by
     modifying the code, not user-supported way to do it).

  After the offending commit (+ partial revert):

  1) INTx is no longer support for HVM (only for PV guests).
  2) Any HVM guest The kernel will not boot on Xen < 4.0 which does
     not have vector injection support. Since the only other mode
     supported is INTx which.

  So based on this summary, I think before commit (72a9b18629) we were
  in much better position from a user point of view.

Vitaly Kuznetsov 98f2a47a00 x86/xen: split off enlighten_hvm.c
Move PVHVM related code to enlighten_hvm.c. Three functions:
xen_cpuhp_setup(), xen_reboot(), xen_emergency_restart() are shared, drop
static qualifier from them. These functions will go to common code once
it is split from enlighten.c.
