[Xen-devel] [PATCH 2/3] xen/bootup: allow {read|write}_cr8 pvops call.



We actually do not do anything about it. Just return a default
value of zero and if the kernel tries to write anything but 0
we BUG_ON.

This fixes the case when an user tries to suspend the machine
and it blows up in save_processor_state b/c 'read_cr8' is set
to NULL and we get:
