[PATCH v2 1/2] x86/vlapic: Fix handling of writes to APIC_ESR

[Andrew Cooper]

Xen currently presents APIC_ESR to guests as a simple read/write register.

This is incorrect.  The SDM states:

  The ESR is a write/read register. Before attempt to read from the ESR,
  software should first write to it. (The value written does not affect the
  values read subsequently; only zero may be written in x2APIC mode.) This
  write clears any previously logged errors and updates the ESR with any
  errors detected since the last write to the ESR.

Introduce a new pending_esr field in hvm_hw_lapic.

Update vlapic_error() to accumulate errors here, and extend vlapic_reg_write()
to discard the written value and transfer pending_esr into APIC_ESR.  Reads
are still as before.

Importantly, this means that guests no longer destroys the ESR value it's
looking for in the LVTERR handler when following the SDM instructions.
