[Xen-devel] [PATCH] x86/HVM: correct notion of new CPL in task switch emulation

["Jan Beulich" <JBeulich@xxxxxxxx>]

Commit aac1df3d03 ("x86/HVM: introduce hvm_get_cpl() and respective
hook") went too far in one aspect: When emulating a task switch we
really shouldn't be looking at what hvm_get_cpl() returns, as we're
switching all segment registers.

However, instead of reverting the relevant parts of that commit, have
the caller tell the segment loading function what the new CPL is. This
at once fixes ES being loaded before CS so far having had its checks
done against the old CPL.

An alternative to adding yet another parameter to the function would
be to have "cpl" have a special case value (e.g. negative) to indicate
VM86 mode. That would allow replacing the current "eflags" parameter.
