    xen: PV on HVM: support PV spinlocks and IPIs

This change replaced the SMP operations with event based handlers without
taking into account that this only works when the hypervisor supports
callback vectors. This causes unexplainable hangs early on boot for
HVM guests with more than one CPU.

This fixes a regression introduced by commit cdcb725c ("Btrfs: check
if there is enough space for balancing smarter").  We can't do 64-bit
divides on 32-bit architectures.

In cases where we need to divide/multiply by 2 we should just left/right
shift respectively, and in cases where theres N number of devices use
do_div.  Also make the counters u64 to match up with rw_devices.

Currently HD-audio driver shows the all error ELD byte as an error
in the kernel message.  This is annoying when the video driver doesn't
set the correct ELD from the beginning. e.g. radeon sends a zero-byte
data, but we still check ELD with the fixed 128 byte as a workaround
for some broken devices, it spews 128-times errors.

For avoiding this, the driver aborts reading when the first byte is
invalid.  In such a case, the whole data is certainly invalid.
