Model inactive VTL vCPUs' behaviour with a new MP state.
Inactive VTLs are in an artificial halt state. They enter into this
state in response to invoking HvCallVtlCall, HvCallVtlReturn.
User-space, which is VTL aware, can processes the hypercall, and set the
vCPU in MP_STATE_HV_INACTIVE_VTL. When a vCPU is run in this state it'll
block until a wakeup event is received. The rules of what constitutes an
event are analogous to halt's except that VTL's ignore RFLAGS.IF.
When a wakeup event is registered, KVM will exit to user-space with a
KVM_SYSTEM_EVENT exit, and KVM_SYSTEM_EVENT_WAKEUP event type.
User-space is responsible of deciding whether the event has precedence
over the active VTL and will switch the vCPU to KVM_MP_STATE_RUNNABLE
before resuming execution on it.
Running a KVM_MP_STATE_HV_INACTIVE_VTL vCPU with pending events will
return immediately to user-space.
Note that by re-using the readily available halt infrastructure in
KVM_RUN, MP_STATE_HV_INACTIVE_VTL correctly handles (or disables)
virtualisation features like the VMX preemption timer or APICv before
blocking.

I do recall Sean mentioning using MP states for this might have
unexpected side-effects. But it was in the context of introducing a
broader `HALTED_USERSPACE` style state. I believe that by narrowing down
the MP state's semantics to the specifics of inactive VTLs --
alternatively, we could change RFLAGS.IF in user-space before updating
the mp state -- we cement this as a VSM-only API as well as limit the
ambiguity on the guest/vCPU's state upon entering into this execution
mode.

+KVM_MP_STATE_HV_INACTIVE_VTL is only available to a VM if Hyper-V's
+HV_ACCESS_VSM CPUID is exposed to the guest. This processor state models the

+If a vCPU is in KVM_MP_STATE_HV_INACTIVE_VTL, KVM will emulate the
+architectural execution of a HLT instruction with the caveat that RFLAGS.IF is
+ignored when deciding whether to wake up (TLFS 12.12.2.1). If a wakeup is
+recognized, KVM will exit to userspace with a KVM_SYSTEM_EVENT exit, where the

+KVM_MP_STATE_HV_INACTIVE_VTL vCPU with pending events will exit immediately.
