[PATCH v11 08/12] xen/pvh: MMU changes for PVH

[Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk]

From: Mukesh Rathor <mukesh.rathor@xxxxxxxxxx>

.. which are surprinsingly small compared to the amount for PV code.

PVH uses mostly native mmu ops, we leave the generic (native_*) for
the majority and just overwrite the baremetal with the ones we need.

We also optimize one - the TLB flush. The native operation would
needlessly IPI offline VCPUs causing extra wakeups. Using the
Xen one avoids that and lets the hypervisor determine which
VCPU needs the TLB flush.
