Some AMD machines have APIC IDs that not equal to CPU IDs. In
the default Xen configuration, ACPI calls on these machines
can get confused. This shows up most noticeably when running
AMD PowerNow!. The only solution is for dom0 to get the
hypervisor's cpuid to apicid table when needed (ie, when dom0
vcpus are pinned).
Add a vcpu op to Xen to allow dom0 to query the
hypervisor for architecture dependent physical cpu information
if dom0 vcpus are pinned.
The second patch adds the dom0 call to this vcpu hypercall.
I have tested this on my 4p/16 core machine and it works. I
would appreciate testing on other boxes.
