APIC virtualization is a new feature which can eliminate most of VM exit
when vcpu handle a interrupt:
APIC register virtualization:
APIC read access doesn't cause APIC-access VM exits.
APIC write becomes trap-like.
Virtual interrupt delivery:
Virtual interrupt delivery avoids KVM to inject vAPIC interrupts
manually, which is fully taken care of by the hardware.
Please refer to Intel SDM volume 3, chapter 29 for more details.
Changes v11 to v12:
* Check irqchip in kernel when enabling apicv, if using userspace irq chip,
apicv cannot be used and must be disabled.
* Rename some fucntion to more descriptive name.
* Move ioapic entry pase logic to lapic.c
* Rebased on top of KVM upstream
Changes v10 to v11:
* Use two new msr bitmaps for guest that enabling x2apic mode:
Since msr bitmap is shared by all guests, it will break guest that
not using x2apic when updating the global msr bitmap. To solve this,
we use two new msr bitmap for guest which using x2apic.
Changes v9 to v10:
* Enable virtualize x2apic mode when guest is using x2apic and apicv:
There is no point to enable x2apic mode when apicv is disabled.
* Grep ioapic_lock when traversing ioapic entry to set eoi exit bitmap
* Rebased on top of KVM upstream
Changes v8 to v9:
* Update eoi exit bitmap by vcpu itself.
* Enable virtualize x2apic mode when guest is using x2apic.
* Rebase on top of KVM upstream
Changes v7 to v8:
* According Marcelo's suggestion, add comments for irr_pending and isr_count,
since the two valiables have different meaning when using apicv.
* Set highest bit in vISR to SVI after migation.
* Use spinlock to access eoi exit bitmap synchronously.
* Enable virtualize x2apic mode when guest is using x2apic
* Rebased on top of KVM upstream.
