Re: [Xen-devel] [PATCH v2 5/6] x86/hvm: Forced Emulation Prefix for debug builds of Xen

Analysis of XSAs 105 and 106 show that is possible to force a race condition
which causes any arbitrary instruction to be emulated.

To aid testing, explicitly introduce the Forced Emulation Prefix for debug
builds alone.

v2: (all suggested by Jan)
  * Use hvm_fetch_from_guest_virt_nofault() in preference to copy_from_guest()
  * Vastly reduce use of #ifndef NDEBUG

This code is exactly the same for SVM and VMX. Can it be factored out?
