Subject: [PATCH linux 3/8] x86/xen: use xen_vcpu_id mapping for HYPERVISOR_vcpu_op

HYPERVISOR_vcpu_op passes Linux's idea of vCPU id as a parameter while
Xen's idea is expected. In some cases these ideas diverge so we need to
do remapping.

There is an issue, however. PV guests do VCPUOP_is_up very early
(see xen_fill_possible_map() and xen_filter_cpu_maps()) when we don't have
perpu areas initialized. While it could be solved with switching to
early_percpu for xen_vcpu_id I think it's not worth it: PV guests will
probably never get to the point where their idea of vCPU id diverges from
Xen's.
