Sorry for ugly alignment.
Maybe this one will be better:)

This patch intends to fix domainU boot after VTi domain booted up.
Currently domainU can't boot after domain VTi booted up. The root cause
is when VTi domain exists, after DomU createing and being scheduled for
first time, context_switch won't be executed completely but through
another execution path to leave kernel. So iva and pta can't be switched
to domU in this case. This will lead to LP's(run domU) iva and pta point
to VTi domain's ivt and pta. So when DomainU boots, domain VTi and
domainU will hang on one LP.

Thanks
