Software layout of VMCS12 data is a contract between L1 guest and L0
hypervisor to run a L2 guest.
ACRN hypervisor caches the VMCS12 which is passed down from L1 hypervisor
by the VMPTRLD instructin. At the time of VMCLEAR, ACRN syncs the cached
VMCS12 back to L1 guest memory.

This patch emulates the VMPTRLD instruction. L0 hypervisor (ACRN) caches
the VMCS12 that is passed down from the VMPTRLD instruction, and merges it
with VMCS01 to create VMCS02 to run the nested VM.
- Currently ACRN can't cache multiple VMCS12 on one vCPU, so it needs to
flushes active but not current VMCS12s to L1 guest.
- ACRN creates VMCS02 to run nested VM based on VMCS12:
1) copy VMCS12 from guest memory to the per vCPU cache VMCS12
2) initialize VMCS02 revision ID and host-state area
3) load shadow fields from cache VMCS12 to VMCS02
4) enable VMCS shadowing before L1 Vm entry

This patch implements the VMXOFF instruction. By issuing VMXOFF,
L1 guest Leaves VMX Operation.
- cleanup VCPU nested virtualization context states in VMXOFF handler.
- implement check_vmx_permission() to check permission for VMX operation
for VMXOFF and other VMX instructions.

According to VMXON Instruction Reference, do the following checks in the
virtual hardware environment: vCPU CPL, guest CR0, CR4, revision ID
in VMXON region, etc.
Currently ACRN doesn't support 32-bit L1 hypervisor, and injects an #UD
exception if L1 hypervisor is not running in 64-bit mode.

This patch emulates VMXON instruction. Basically checks some
prerequisites to enable VMX operation on L1 guest (next patch), and
prepares some virtual hardware environment in L0.

Define LIST_OF_VMX_MSRS which includes a list of MSRs that are visible to
L1 guests if nested virtualization is enabled.
- If CONFIG_NVMX_ENABLED is set, these MSRs are included in
emulated_guest_msrs[].
- otherwise, they are included in unsupported_msrs[].
In this way we can take advantage of the existing infrastructure to
emulate these MSRs.
