User space may not want to overwrite asynchronously changing VCPU event
states on write-back. So allow to skip nmi.pending and sipi_vector by
setting corresponding bits in the flags field of kvm_vcpu_events.

This new IOCTL exports all yet user-invisible states related to
exceptions, interrupts, and NMIs. Together with appropriate user space
changes, this fixes sporadic problems of vmsave/restore, live migration
and system reset.

Support for Xen PV-on-HVM guests can be implemented almost entirely in
userspace, except for handling one annoying MSR that maps a Xen
hypercall blob into guest address space.
A generic mechanism to delegate MSR writes to userspace seems overkill
and risks encouraging similar MSR abuse in the future. Thus this patch
adds special support for the Xen HVM MSR.
I implemented a new ioctl, KVM_XEN_HVM_CONFIG, that lets userspace tell
KVM which MSR the guest will write to, as well as the starting address
and size of the hypercall blobs (one each for 32-bit and 64-bit) that
userspace has loaded from files. When the guest writes to the MSR, KVM
copies one page of the blob from userspace to the guest.
I've tested this patch with a hacked-up version of Gerd's userspace
code, booting a number of guests (CentOS 5.3 i386 and x86_64, and
FreeBSD 8.0-RC1 amd64) and exercising PV network and block devices.

When kvm is in hpet_legacy_mode, the hpet is providing the timer
interrupt and the pit should not be. So in legacy mode, the pit timer
is destroyed, but the *state* of the pit is maintained. So if kvm or
the guest tries to modify the state of the pit, this modification is
accepted, *except* that the timer isn't actually started. When we exit
hpet_legacy_mode, the current state of the pit (which is up to date
since we've been accepting modifications) is used to restart the pit
timer.
The saved_mode code in kvm_pit_load_count temporarily changes mode to
0xff in order to destroy the timer, but then restores the actual
value, again maintaining "current" state of the pit for possible later
reenablement.

The related MSRs are emulated. MCE capability is exported via
extension KVM_CAP_MCE and ioctl KVM_X86_GET_MCE_CAP_SUPPORTED. A new
vcpu ioctl command KVM_X86_SETUP_MCE is used to setup MCE emulation
such as the mcg_cap. MCE is injected via vcpu ioctl command
KVM_X86_SET_MCE. Extended machine-check state (MCG_EXT_P) and CMCI are
not implemented.

This patch finally enable MSI-X.
What we need for MSI-X:
1. Intercept one page in MMIO region of device. So that we can get guest desired
MSI-X table and set up the real one. Now this have been done by guest, and
transfer to kernel using ioctl KVM_SET_MSIX_NR and KVM_SET_MSIX_ENTRY.
2. Information for incoming interrupt. Now one device can have more than one
interrupt, and they are all handled by one workqueue structure. So we need to
identify them. The previous patch enable gsi_msg_pending_bitmap get this done.
3. Mapping from host IRQ to guest gsi as well as guest gsi to real MSI/MSI-X
message address/data. We used same entry number for the host and guest here, so
that it's easy to find the correlated guest gsi.
What we lack for now:
1. The PCI spec said nothing can existed with MSI-X table in the same page of
MMIO region, except pending bits. The patch ignore pending bits as the first
step (so they are always 0 - no pending).
2. The PCI spec allowed to change MSI-X table dynamically. That means, the OS
can enable MSI-X, then mask one MSI-X entry, modify it, and unmask it. The patch
didn't support this, and Linux also don't work in this way.
3. The patch didn't implement MSI-X mask all and mask single entry. I would
implement the former in driver/pci/msi.c later. And for single entry, userspace
should have reposibility to handle it.

Certain clocks (such as TSC) in older 2.6 guests overaccount for lost
ticks, causing severe time drift. Interrupt reinjection magnifies the
problem.
Provide an option to disable it.

This rips out the support for KVM_DEBUG_GUEST and introduces a new IOCTL
instead: KVM_SET_GUEST_DEBUG. The IOCTL payload consists of a generic
part, controlling the "main switch" and the single-step feature. The
arch specific part adds an x86 interface for intercepting both types of
debug exceptions separately and re-injecting them when the host was not
interested. Moveover, the foundation for guest debugging via debug
registers is layed.
To signal breakpoint events properly back to userland, an arch-specific
data block is now returned along KVM_EXIT_DEBUG. For x86, the arch block
contains the PC, the debug exception, and relevant debug registers to
tell debug events properly apart.
The availability of this new interface is signaled by
KVM_CAP_SET_GUEST_DEBUG. Empty stubs for not yet supported archs are
provided.
Note that both SVM and VTX are supported, but only the latter was tested
yet. Based on the experience with all those VTX corner case, I would be
fairly surprised if SVM will work out of the box.

Change header guards named "ASM_X86__*" to "_ASM_X86_*" since:
a. the double underscore is ugly and pointless.
b. no leading underscore violates namespace constraints.
