The "acknowledge interrupt on exit" feature controls processor behavior
for external interrupt acknowledgement. When this control is set, the
processor acknowledges the interrupt controller to acquire the
interrupt vector on VM exit.
After enabling this feature, an interrupt which arrived when target cpu is
running in vmx non-root mode will be handled by vmx handler instead of handler
in idt. Currently, vmx handler only fakes an interrupt stack and jump to idt
table to let real handler to handle it. Further, we will recognize the interrupt
and only delivery the interrupt which not belong to current vcpu through idt table.
The interrupt which belonged to current vcpu will be handled inside vmx handler.
This will reduce the interrupt handle cost of KVM.
Also, interrupt enable logic is changed if this feature is turnning on:
Before this patch, hypervior call local_irq_enable() to enable it directly.
Now IF bit is set on interrupt stack frame, and will be enabled on a return from
interrupt handler if exterrupt interrupt exists. If no external interrupt, still
call local_irq_enable() to enable it.

If we are entering guest mode, we do not want L0 to interrupt this
vmentry with all its side effects on the vmcs. Therefore, injection
shall be disallowed during L1->L2 transitions, as in the previous
version. However, this check is conceptually independent of
nested_exit_on_intr, so decouple it.
If L1 traps external interrupts, we can kick the guest from L2 to L1,
also just like the previous code worked. But we no longer need to
consider L1's idt_vectoring_info_field. It will always be empty at this
point. Instead, if L2 has pending events, those are now found in the
architectural queues and will, thus, prevent vmx_interrupt_allowed from
being called at all.

The basic idea is to always transfer the pending event injection on
vmexit into the architectural state of the VCPU and then drop it from
there if it turns out that we left L2 to enter L1, i.e. if we enter
prepare_vmcs12.
vmcs12_save_pending_events takes care to transfer pending L0 events into
the queue of L1. That is mandatory as L1 may decide to switch the guest
state completely, invalidating or preserving the pending events for
later injection (including on a different node, once we support
migration).
This concept is based on the rule that a pending vmlaunch/vmresume is
not canceled. Otherwise, we would risk to lose injected events or leak
them into the wrong queues. Encode this rule via a WARN_ON_ONCE at the
entry of nested_vmx_vmexit.

A VCPU sending INIT or SIPI to some other VCPU races for setting the
remote VCPU's mp_state. When we were unlucky, KVM_MP_STATE_INIT_RECEIVED
was overwritten by kvm_emulate_halt and, thus, got lost.
This introduces APIC events for those two signals, keeping them in
kvm_apic until kvm_apic_accept_events is run over the target vcpu
context. kvm_apic_has_events reports to kvm_arch_vcpu_runnable if there
are pending events, thus if vcpu blocking should end.
The patch comes with the side effect of effectively obsoleting
KVM_MP_STATE_SIPI_RECEIVED. We still accept it from user space, but
immediately translate it to KVM_MP_STATE_INIT_RECEIVED + KVM_APIC_SIPI.
The vcpu itself will no longer enter the KVM_MP_STATE_SIPI_RECEIVED
state. That also means we no longer exit to user space after receiving a
SIPI event.
Furthermore, we already reset the VCPU on INIT, only fixing up the code
segment later on when SIPI arrives. Moreover, we fix INIT handling for
the BSP: it never enter wait-for-SIPI but directly starts over on INIT.

The logic for calculating the value with which we call kvm_set_cr0/4 was
broken (will definitely be visible with nested unrestricted guest mode
support). Also, we performed the check regarding CR0_ALWAYSON too early
when in guest mode.
What really needs to be done on both CR0 and CR4 is to mask out L1-owned
bits and merge them in from L1's guest_cr0/4. In contrast, arch.cr0/4
and arch.cr0/4_guest_owned_bits contain the mangled L0+L1 state and,
thus, are not suited as input.
For both CRs, we can then apply the check against VMXON_CRx_ALWAYSON and
refuse the update if it fails. To be fully consistent, we implement this
check now also for CR4. For CR4, we move the check into vmx_set_cr4
while we keep it in handle_set_cr0. This is because the CR0 checks for
vmxon vs. guest mode will diverge soon when adding unrestricted guest
mode support.
Finally, we have to set the shadow to the value L2 wanted to write
originally.
