In certain use-cases, we want to allocate guests fixed time slices where idle
guest cycles leave the machine idling. There are many approaches to achieve
this but the most direct is to simply avoid trapping the HLT instruction which
lets the guest directly execute the instruction putting the processor to sleep.
Introduce this as a module-level option for kvm-vmx.ko since if you do this
for one guest, you probably want to do it for all.

If we execute VMREAD during reboot we'll just skip over it. Instead of

The exit reason alone is insufficient to understand exactly why an exit
occured; add ISA-specific trace parameters for additional information.
Because fetching these parameters is expensive on vmx, and because these
parameters are fetched even if tracing is disabled, we fetch the
parameters via a callback instead of as traditional trace arguments.

gcc 4.5 with some special options is able to duplicate the VMX
context switch asm in vmx_vcpu_run(). This results in a compile error
because the inline asm sequence uses an on local label. The non local
label is needed because other code wants to set up the return address.
This patch moves the asm code into an own function and marks
that explicitely noinline to avoid this problem.
Better would be probably to just move it into an .S file.
The diff looks worse than the change really is, it's all just
code movement and no logic change.

We now use load_gs_index() to load gs safely; unfortunately this also
changes MSR_KERNEL_GS_BASE, which we managed separately. This resulted
in confusion and breakage running 32-bit host userspace on a 64-bit kernel.
Fix by
- saving guest MSR_KERNEL_GS_BASE before we we reload the host's gs
- doing the host save/load unconditionally, instead of only when in guest
long mode
Things can be cleaned up further, but this is the minmal fix for now.

vmx_complete_interrupts() does too much, split it up:
- vmx_vcpu_run() gets the "cache important vmcs fields" part
- a new vmx_complete_atomic_exit() gets the parts that must be done atomically
- a new vmx_recover_nmi_blocking() does what its name says
- vmx_complete_interrupts() retains the event injection recovery code
This helps in reducing the work done in atomic context.

Instead of blindly attempting to inject an event before each guest entry,
check for a possible event first in vcpu->requests. Sites that can trigger
event injection are modified to set KVM_REQ_EVENT:
- interrupt, nmi window opening
- ppr updates
- i8259 output changes
- local apic irr changes
- rflags updates
- gif flag set
- event set on exit
This improves non-injecting entry performance, and sets the stage for
non-atomic injection.

wbinvd exit, or
2: execute wbinvd on all dirty physical CPUs when guest wbinvd exits.
