commit 3c05c4bed4ccce3f22f6d7899b308faae24ad198 upstream.

Fix regression for HVM case on older (<4.1.1) hypervisors caused by

xen: PV on HVM: support PV spinlocks and IPIs

This change replaced the SMP operations with event based handlers without
taking into account that this only works when the hypervisor supports
callback vectors. This causes unexplainable hangs early on boot for
HVM guests with more than one CPU.
