This series aims to add the virtualization of split lock detection for guest, while containing some fixes of native kernel split lock handling. Note, this series is based on the kernel patch[1]. Patch 1 is new added one in this series, that is the enhancement and fix for kernel split lock detction. It ensure X86_FEATURE_SPLIT_LOCK_DETECT flag is set after verifying the feature is really supported. And it explicitly turn off split lock when sld_off instead of assuming BIOS/firmware leaves it cleared. Patch 2 optimizes the runtime MSR accessing. Patch 3-5 are the preparation for enabling split lock detection virtualization in KVM. Patch 6-7 fixes the issue in kvm emulator and guest when host truns split lock detect on. Patch 8-10 implement the virtualization of split lock detection in kvm.

[Sean] - Add new option for split_lock_detect kernel param. - Changlog refinement. [Sean] - Add a new patch to enable MSR_TEST_CTRL for intel guest.
