KVM: host side for eoi optimization
Implementation of PV EOI using shared memory. This reduces the number of exits an interrupt causes as much as by half. The idea is simple: there's a bit, per APIC, in guest memory, that tells the guest that it does not need EOI. We set it before injecting an interrupt and clear before injecting a nested one. Guest tests it using a test and clear operation - this is necessary so that host can detect interrupt nesting - and if set, it can skip the EOI MSR. There's a new MSR to set the address of said register in guest memory. Otherwise not much changed: - Guest EOI is not required - Register is tested & ISR is automatically cleared on exit For testing results see description of previous patch 'kvm_para: guest side for eoi avoidance'.
