[Xen-devel] [PATCH] Don't enable irq for machine check vmexit



We should not enable irq for machine check VMExit

In changeset 18658:824892134573, IRQ is enabled during VMExit except external 
interrupt. The exception should apply for machine check also, because :
a) The mce_logout_lock should be held in irq_disabled context.
b) The machine check event should be handled as quickly as possible, enable irq 
will increase the period greatly.

This is in hotspot code path, I try to use unlikely, hope to reduce the 
performance impact

Thanks
