We need to tell the guest the opcodes that make up a hypercall through
interfaces that are controlled by userspace. So we need to add a call
for userspace to allow it to query those opcodes so it can pass them
on.

This is required because the hypercall opcodes can change based on
the hypervisor conditions. If we're running in hardware accelerated
hypervisor mode, a hypercall looks different from when we're running
without hardware acceleration.

MOL uses its own hypercall interface to call back into userspace when
the guest wants to do something.

So let's implement that as an exit reason, specify it with a CAP and
only really use it when userspace wants us to.

The only user of it so far is MOL.

Some times we don't want all capabilities to be available to all
our vcpus. One example for that is the OSI interface, implemented
in the next patch.

In order to have a generic mechanism in how to enable capabilities
individually, this patch introduces a new ioctl that can be used
for this purpose. That way features we don't want in all guests or
userspace configurations can just not be enabled and we're good.

The interrupt shadow created by STI or MOV-SS-like operations is part of
the VCPU state and must be preserved across migration. Transfer it in
the spare padding field of kvm_vcpu_events.interrupt.

As a side effect we now have to make vmx_set_interrupt_shadow robust
against both shadow types being set. Give MOV SS a higher priority and
skip STI in that case to avoid that VMX throws a fault on next entry.

This new IOCTL exports all yet user-invisible states related to
exceptions, interrupts, and NMIs. Together with appropriate user space

When we migrate a kvm guest that uses pvclock between two hosts, we may
suffer a large skew. This is because there can be significant differences
between the monotonic clock of the hosts involved. When a new host with
a much larger monotonic time starts running the guest, the view of time
will be significantly impacted.

Situation is much worse when we do the opposite, and migrate to a host with
a smaller monotonic clock.

This proposed ioctl will allow userspace to inform us what is the monotonic
clock value in the source host, so we can keep the time skew short, and
more importantly, never goes backwards. Userspace may also need to trigger
the current data, since from the first migration onwards, it won't be
reflected by a simple call to clock_gettime() anymore.

Support for Xen PV-on-HVM guests can be implemented almost entirely in
userspace, except for handling one annoying MSR that maps a Xen
hypercall blob into guest address space.

A generic mechanism to delegate MSR writes to userspace seems overkill
and risks encouraging similar MSR abuse in the future.  Thus this patch
adds special support for the Xen HVM MSR.

I implemented a new ioctl, KVM_XEN_HVM_CONFIG, that lets userspace tell
KVM which MSR the guest will write to, as well as the starting address
and size of the hypercall blobs (one each for 32-bit and 64-bit) that
userspace has loaded from files.  When the guest writes to the MSR, KVM
copies one page of the blob from userspace to the guest.

I've tested this patch with a hacked-up version of Gerd's userspace
code, booting a number of guests (CentOS 5.3 i386 and x86_64, and
FreeBSD 8.0-RC1 amd64) and exercising PV network and block devices.
