Laszlo, Thanks your testing. It seems that there is still some unknown issue existing.
I suggest to push this serial of patches firstly, because they have big progress to solve the AP crashed issue in https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=216. I could submit another bug to handle "AP lost" issue. Thus, JIewen's or others' patches could be push as long as they have no additional issue except for "AP Lost:". I could follow up to fix "AP Lost" issue. Thanks!

I tested the series with a suspend-resume loop -- not a busy loop, just manually. (So there was always one second or so between adjacent steps.) No crashes or emulation failures, but the "AP going lost" issue remains present -- sometimes Linux cannot bring up one of the four VCPUs after resume. In the Ia32 case, this "AP lost" symptom surfaced after the 6th resume. In the Ia32X64 case, I experienced the symptom after the 89th resume.
