We have
struct arch_domain
{
     ...
     /* Is a 32-bit PV (non-HVM) guest? */
     bool_t is_32bit_pv;
     /* Is shared-info page in 32-bit format? */
     bool_t has_32bit_shinfo;
    ...
}

and currently both of these fields are set/unset together (except for 
one HVM case --- hvm_latch_shinfo_size()). Why not have a single 'bool 
is_32bit' and then replace macros at the top of include/asm-x86/domain.h 
with is_32bit_vcpu/domain()?

I think in majority of places when we test for is_pv_32bit_vcpu/domain() 
we already know that we are PV so it shouldn't add any additional tests.
