[Xen-devel] [PATCH for-4.11] x86/VT-x: Fix printing of EFER in vmcs_dump_vcpu()
This is essentially a "take 2" of c/s 82540b66ce "x86/VT-x: Fix determination
of EFER.LMA in vmcs_dump_vcpu()" because in hindight, that change was more
problematic than useful.
The original reason was to fix the logic for determining when not to print the
PDPTE pointers. However, mutating the efer variable (particularly LME and
LMA) before printing it interferes with diagnosing vmentry failures.
Instead of modifying efer, change the PDPTE conditional to use
VM_ENTRY_IA32E_MODE.

This wants taking for 4.11. It is zero risk for running VMs, but fixes a
regression in the diagnostics of crashed VMs.
