[Xen-devel] [PATCH v8 3/5] x86/ioreq server: Handle read-modify-write cases for p2m_ioreq_server pages.

[Yu Zhang <yu.c.zhang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

In ept_handle_violation(), write violations are also treated as
read violations. And when a VM is accessing a write-protected
address with read-modify-write instructions, the read emulation
process is triggered first.

For p2m_ioreq_server pages, current ioreq server only forwards
the write operations to the device model. Therefore when such page
is being accessed by a read-modify-write instruction, the read
operations should be emulated here in hypervisor. This patch provides
such a handler to copy the data to the buffer.

Note: MMIOs with p2m_mmio_dm type do not need such special treatment
because both reads and writes will go to the device mode.

changes in v2: 
  - According to comments from Jan: clarify comments in hvmemul_do_io().

changes in v2: 
  - According to comments from Jan: rename mem_ops to ioreq_server_ops.
  - According to comments from Jan: use hvm_copy_from_guest_phys() in
    ioreq_server_read(), instead of do it by myself.
