Thread-topic: [Xen-devel][PATCH 01/02] pvrdtscp: move the place of write_rdtscp_aux()
 Pvrdtscp: move write_rdtscp_aux() to paravirt_ctxt_switch_to()
 - Currently write_rdtscp_aux() is placed in update_vcpu_system_time(), which
is called by schedule() before context_switch(). This will break the HVM guest
TSC_AUX state because at this point, MSR hasn't beed saved for HVM guests.So
put the function in the point when a PV vcpu is really scheduled in.
