[V0 PATCH] xen/pvh: set some cr flags upon vcpu start

From: Mukesh Rathor
Date: Fri Jan 17 2014 - 21:26:09 EST


pvh was designed to start with pv flags, but a commit in xen tree
51e2cac257ec8b4080d89f0855c498cbbd76a5e5 removed some of the flags as
they are not necessary. As a result, these CR flags must be set in the
guest.
