There are some cases that malicious virtual machines can cause CPU stuck
(event windows don't open up), e.g., infinite loop in microcode when
nested #AC (CVE-2015-5307). No event window obviously means no events,
e.g. NMIs, SMIs, and IRQs will all be blocked, may cause the related
hardware CPU can't be used by host or other VM.

To resolve those cases, it can enable a notify VM exit if no event
window occur in VMX non-root mode for a specified amount of time
(notify window). Since CPU is first observed the risk of not causing
forward progress, after notify window time in a units of crystal clock,
Notify VM exit will happen. Notify VM exit can happen incident to delivery
of a vectored event.

Expose a module param for configuring notify window, which is in unit of
crystal clock cycle.
- A negative value (e.g. -1) is to disable this feature.
- Make the default as 0. It is safe because an internal threshold is added
to notify window to ensure all the normal instructions being coverd.
- User can set it to a large value when they want to give more cycles to
wait for some reasons, e.g., silicon wrongly kill some normal instruction
due to internal threshold is too small.

Notify VM exit is defined in latest Intel Architecture Instruction Set
Extensions Programming Reference, chapter 9.2.

Changelog:
v2:
      Default set notify window to 0, less than 0 to disable.
      Add more description in commit message.

Sorry if this was already discussed, but in case of nested
virtualization and when L1 also enables
SECONDARY_EXEC_NOTIFY_VM_EXITING, shouldn't we just reflect NOTIFY exits
during L2 execution to L1 instead of crashing the whole L1?

Notify VM Exit will not crash L1 guest if VM context valid in exit qualification. After VM exit, VMM can resume the guest normally.
