Hi Ian, Keir,

     Currently if one tries to execute VMX instruction from inside the VMX guest, the Xen hyper visor has no handling of it resulting in a bug(). This patch handles such VMX instructions from the guest returning invalid opcode to the guest. Also the macro VMX_INVALID_ERROR_CODE is renamed to the more meaning full one, VMX_DELIVER_NO_ERROR_CODE. Please apply.

Thanks & Regards,
