[Xen-devel] [RFC PATCH V4 2/2] qemu: support xen hvm direct kernel boot

[Chunyan Liu <cyliu@xxxxxxxx>]

qemu side patch to support xen HVM direct kernel boot:
if -kernel exists, calls xen_load_linux(), which will read kernel/initrd
and add a linuxboot.bin or multiboot.bin option rom. The
linuxboot.bin/multiboot.bin will load kernel/initrd and jump to execute
kernel directly. It's working when xen uses seabios.

During this work, found the 'kvmvapic' is in option_rom list, it should
not be there in xen case. Set s->vapic_control = 0 in xen_apic_realize()
to handle that.

Signed-off-by: Chunyan Liu <cyliu@xxxxxxxx>

Changes to v3:
  - add assertion before adding option rom as Stefan suggests
