As ACRN prepares to support servers with large amounts of memory
current logic to allocate space for 4K pages of EPT at compile time
will increase the size of .bss section of ACRN binary.
Bootloaders could run into a situation where they cannot
find enough contiguous space to load ACRN binary under 4GB,
which is typically heavily fragmented with E820 types Reserved,
ACPI data, 32-bit PCI hole etc.
This patch does the following
1) Works only for "direct" mode of vboot
2) reserves space for 4K pages of EPT, after boot by parsing
platform E820 table, for all types of VMs.
Size comparison:

Size of DRAM Size of .bss
48 GB 0xe1bbc98 (~226 MB)
128 GB 0x222abc98 (~548 MB)
w/ patch

For a pre-launched VM, a region from PTDEV_HI_MMIO_START is used to store
64bit vBARs of PT devices which address is high than 4G. The region should
be located after all user memory space and be coverd by guest EPT address.

Currently ept_pages_info[] is initialized with first element only that force
VM of id 0 using SOS EPT pages. This is incorrect for logical partition and
hybrid scenario. Considering SOS_RAM_SIZE and UOS_RAM_SIZE are configured
separately, we should use different ept pages accordingly.
So, the PRE_VM_NUM/SOS_VM_NUM and MAX_POST_VM_NUM macros are introduced to
resolve this issue. The macros would be generated by acrn-config tool when
user configure ACRN for their specific scenario.
One more thing, that when UOS_RAM_SIZE is less then 2GB, the EPT address
range should be (4G + PLATFORM_HI_MMIO_SIZE).

Deterministic is important for RTVM. The mitigation for MCE on
Page Size Change converts a large page to 4KB pages runtimely during
the vmexit triggered by the instruction fetch in the large page.
These vmexits increase nondeterminacy, which should be avoided for RTVM.
This patch builds 4KB page mapping in EPT for RTVM to avoid these vmexits.

Issue description:
-----------------
Machine Check Error on Page Size Change
Instruction fetch may cause machine check error if page size
and memory type was changed without invalidation on some
processors[1][2]. Malicious guest kernel could trigger this issue.
This issue applies to both primary page table and extended page
tables (EPT), however the primary page table is controlled by
hypervisor only. This patch mitigates the situation in EPT.
Mitigation details:
------------------
Implement non-execute huge pages in EPT.
This patch series clears the execute permission (bit 2) in the
EPT entries for large pages. When EPT violation is triggered by
guest instruction fetch, hypervisor converts the large page to
smaller 4 KB pages and restore the execute permission, and then
re-execute the guest instruction.
The current patch turns on the mitigation by default.
The follow-up patches will conditionally turn on/off the feature
per processor model.

EPT tables are shared by MMU and IOMMU.
Some IOMMUs don't support page-walk coherency, the cpu cache of EPT entires
should be flushed to memory after modifications, so that the modifications
are visible to the IOMMUs.
This patch adds a new interface to flush the cache of modified EPT entires.
There are different implementations for EPT/PPT entries:
- For PPT, there is no need to flush the cpu cache after update.
- For EPT, need to call iommu_flush_cache to make the modifications visible
to IOMMUs.

The previous would reserve memory for trusty in SOS kernel. Howerer,
there would no available 16 MB continue memory any more after a long time.
This result in allocating memory for trusty failed. This patch will reserve
memory for trusty in ACRN hypervisor in which case the memory allocation
for trusty will never fail.

For data structure types "struct vm", its name is identical
with variable name in the same scope. This is a MISRA C violation.
Naming convention rule:If the data structure type is used by multi
modules, its corresponding logic resource is exposed to external
components (such as SOS, UOS), and its name meaning is simplistic
(such as vcpu, vm), its name needs prefix "acrn_".
The following udpates are made:
struct vm *vm-->struct acrn_vm *vm

Replace dynamic memory allocation in memory management with static memory allocation.
Since the static memory allocation can guarantee the allocation never failed, so
split_large_page and construct_pgentry don't need to return a errno any more.
Besides, the destroy_ept don't need to free page any more. Instead, it would memset
the eptp to 0 to make sure we can't walk this paging table again.
