Subject: [PATCH v3] pvh: clearly specify used parameters in
 vcpu_guest_context
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The aim of this patch is to define a stable way in which PVH is
going to do AP bringup.

Since we are running inside of a HVM container, PVH should only need
to set flags, cr3 and user_regs in order to bring up a vCPU, the rest
can be set once the vCPU is started using the bare metal methods.
