HVMOP_altp2m_set_domain_state does not domain_pause(), presumably
on purpose (as it was originally supposed to cater to a in-guest
agent, and a domain pausing itself is not a good idea).
This can lead to domain crashes in the vmx_vmexit_handler() code
that checks if the guest has the ability to switch EPTP without an
exit. That code can __vmread() the host p2m's EPT_POINTER
(before HVMOP_altp2m_set_domain_state "for_each_vcpu()" has a
chance to run altp2m_vcpu_initialise(), but after
d->arch.altp2m_active is set).
This patch reorganizes the code so that d->arch.altp2m_active
is set to true only after all the init work has been done, and
to false before the uninit work begins. This required adding
a new bool parameter altp2m_vcpu_update_p2m(), which relied
on d->arch.altp2m_active being set before it's called.
While at it, I've changed a couple of bool_t's to bool's.

FTR - this looks okay to me now. But I don't feel qualified to
give an R-b, so just for the parts where it's applicable

Thanks for the ack and the help!
