[Xen-devel] [PATCH 11/11] x86/HVM: serialize trap injecting producer and consumer

["Jan Beulich" <JBeulich@xxxxxxxx>]

Since injection works on a remote vCPU, and since there's no
enforcement of the subject vCPU being paused, there's a potential race
between the prodcing and consuming sides. Fix this by leveraging the
vector field as synchronization variable.
