ad73bb511c HV: treewide: unify the type of bit-field members
Qualified or unqualified int or bool are the only types allowed for bit-field
members in C99, and MISRA C further forbids using plain int.

Use uint32_t (which is equivalent to unsigned int) for all bit-field members.

84d320d49c HV:treewide:Fix type conversion in VMX, timer and MTTR module
There are some integer type conversions in the VMX, timer
and MTTR module detected by static analysis tool.

Update related integer type in VMX, timer and MTTR
module.
Add related constant value with 'U/UL' suffix.

V1-->V2:
        Resolve few rebase conflicts.
V2-->V3:
        Add 'h' for uint16_t argument in log function;
	Update the type of temp variable 'type' as uint8_t
	in MTTR module to reduce type conversion.

c2283743f0 hv: basic MTRR virtualization
Linux commit edfe63ec97ed ("x86/mtrr: Fix Xorg crashes in Qemu sessions")
disables PAT feature if MTRR is not enabled. This patch does partial
emulation of MTRR to prevent this from happening: enable fixed-range
MTRRs and disable virable range MTRRs

By default IA32_PAT MSR (SDM Vol3 11.12.4, Table 11-12) doesn't include
'WC' type. If MTRR is disabled from the guests, Linux doesn't allow
writing IA32_PAT MSR so WC type can't be enabled. This creates some
performance issues for certian applications that rely on WC memory type.

Implementation summary:
- Enable MTRR feature: MTRRdefType.E=1
- Enable fixed range MTRRs: MTRRCAP.fix=1, MTRRdefType.FE=1
- For simplicity, disable variable range MTRRs: MTRRCAP.vcnt=0.
  It's expected that this bit is honored by the guests and they won't
  change the guest memory type through variable MTRRs.
