Thread-topic: [PATCH] handle the vmx instructions from VMX guests properly

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,

Nitin
