All the physical CPUs on the board should support the same VMX feature
set. Add check_processor_compatibility to kvm_arch_ops for the consistency
check.

Avi wants the allocations of vcpus centralized again. The easiest way
is to add a "size" arg to kvm_init_arch, and expose the thus-prepared
cache to the modules.

Current kvm disables preemption while the new virtualization registers are
in use. This of course is not very good for latency sensitive workloads (one
use of virtualization is to offload user interface and other latency
insensitive stuff to a container, so that it is easier to analyze the
remaining workload). This patch re-enables preemption for kvm; preemption
is now only disabled when switching the registers in and out, and during
the switch to guest mode and back.

This patch converts the vcpus array in "struct kvm" to a pointer
array, and changes the "vcpu_create" and "vcpu_setup" hooks into one
"vcpu_create" call which does the allocation and initialization of the
vcpu (calling back into the kvm_vcpu_init core helper).

When a vcpu causes a shadow tlb entry to have reduced permissions, it
must also clear the tlb on remote vcpus. We do that by:
- setting a bit on the vcpu that requests a tlb flush before the next entry
- if the vcpu is currently executing, we send an ipi to make sure it
exits before we continue

Switch guest paging context may require us to allocate memory, which
might fail. Instead of wiring up error paths everywhere, make context
switching lazy and actually do the switch before the next guest entry,
where we can return an error if allocation fails.

First thing mm.h does is including sched.h solely for can_do_mlock() inline
function which has "current" dereference inside. By dealing with can_do_mlock()
mm.h can be detached from sched.h which is good. See below, why.
This patch
a) removes unconditional inclusion of sched.h from mm.h
b) makes can_do_mlock() normal function in mm/mlock.c
c) exports can_do_mlock() to not break compilation
d) adds sched.h inclusions back to files that were getting it indirectly.
e) adds less bloated headers to some files (asm/signal.h, jiffies.h) that were
getting them indirectly
Net result is:
a) mm.h users would get less code to open, read, preprocess, parse, ... if
they don't need sched.h
b) sched.h stops being dependency for significant number of files:
on x86_64 allmodconfig touching sched.h results in recompile of 4083 files,
after patch it's only 3744 (-8.3%).

We only have to save/restore MSR_GS_BASE on every VMEXIT. The rest can be
saved/restored when we leave the VCPU. Since we don't emulate the DEBUGCTL
MSRs and the guest cannot write to them, we don't have to worry about
saving/restoring them at all.
This shaves a whopping 40% off raw vmexit costs on AMD.

When a vcpu is migrated from one cpu to another, its timestamp counter
may lose its monotonic property if the host has unsynced timestamp counters.
This can confuse the guest, sometimes to the point of refusing to boot.
As the rdtsc instruction is rather fast on AMD processors (7-10 cycles),
we can simply record the last host tsc when we drop the cpu, and adjust
the vcpu tsc offset when we detect that we've migrated to a different cpu.

set_cr0_no_modeswitch() was a hack to avoid corrupting segment registers.
As we now cache the protected mode values on entry to real mode, this
isn't an issue anymore, and it interferes with reboot (which usually _is_
a modeswitch).

The current string pio interface communicates using guest virtual addresses,
relying on userspace to translate addresses and to check permissions. This
interface cannot fully support guest smp, as the check needs to take into
account two pages at one in case an unaligned string transfer straddles a
page boundary.
Change the interface not to communicate guest addresses at all; instead use
a buffer page (mmaped by userspace) and do transfers there. The kernel
manages the virtual to physical translation and can perform the checks
atomically by taking the appropriate locks.

Currently, userspace is told about the nature of the last exit from the
guest using two fields, exit_type and exit_reason, where exit_type has
just two enumerations (and no need for more). So fold exit_type into
exit_reason, reducing the complexity of determining what really happened.

KVM used to handle cpuid by letting userspace decide what values to
return to the guest. We now handle cpuid completely in the kernel. We
still let userspace decide which values the guest will see by having
userspace set up the value table beforehand (this is necessary to allow
management software to set the cpu features to the least common denominator,
so that live migration can work).
The motivation for the change is that kvm kernel code can be impacted by
cpuid features, for example the x86 emulator.

Currently when passing the a PIO emulation request to userspace, we
rely on userspace updating %rax (on 'in' instructions) and %rsi/%rdi/%rcx
(on string instructions). This (a) requires two extra ioctls for getting
and setting the registers and (b) is unfriendly to non-x86 archs, when
they get kvm ports.
So fix by doing the register fixups in the kernel and passing to userspace
only an abstract description of the PIO to be done.

Allocate a distinct inode for every vcpu in a VM. This has the following
benefits:
- the filp cachelines are no longer bounced when f_count is incremented on
every ioctl()
- the API and internal code are distinctly clearer; for example, on the
KVM_GET_REGS ioctl, there is no need to copy the vcpu number from
userspace and then copy the registers back; the vcpu identity is derived
from the fd used to make the call
Right now the performance benefits are completely theoretical since (a) we
don't support more than one vcpu per VM and (b) virtualization hardware
inefficiencies completely everwhelm any cacheline bouncing effects. But
both of these will change, and we need to prepare the API today.
