So what's the proposed way to reuse compat code for HVM guest? 
Extend IS_COMPAT() to cover HVM domain even when 
DOMF_COMPAT is not set, or invoke compatible layer directly when 
required. In any case, I just didn't see why IS_COMPAT() branch is 
placed under is_hvm_vcpu for now. :-)

Thanks for you kind answer on other questions.
