Should be fixed by the series of change sets
18870:dd7ac569579a - 18877:e97216802360

The root cause is that fpswa fault isn't handle properly when
a bundle in question which is in a guest virtual address space
can't be gotten by xen VMM.
With the patches when VMM failed to get a bundle in a guest,
inject fpswa fault/trap. then a guest kernel gets the bundle and calls fpswa
library itself.

During the process of creating those patches, anothor issue was found.
When fpswa called by VMM returns status > 0,  fpswa fault/trap is injected
into a guest kernel and the kernel calls fpswa itself. So fpswa is called
twice. once by xen VMM, once by aguest kernel. so the result would be wrong.
Leave this issue as is assuming that no applications don't rely on
SIGFP to recover its computation with a xen vmm warning message.
