The Hardware Feedback Interface (HFI) and Intel® Thread Director (ITD)
features require OS to provide a physical page address to
IA32_HW_FEEDBACK_PTR. Then the hardware will update the processor
information to the page address. The issue is that guest VM will program
its GPA to that MSR, causing great risk of tempering memory.
So HFI and ITD should be made invisible to guests, until we provide
proper virtulization of those features.

Changes made by this patch includes:
1. Emulate HWP and pstate MSRs/CPUIDs. Those are exposed to guest when
the GUEST_FLAG_VHWP is set:
- CPUID[6].EAX[7,9,10]: MSR_IA32_PM_ENABLE(enabled by hv, always read
1), MSR_IA32_HWP_CAPABILITIES, MSR_IA32_HWP_REQUEST,
MSR_IA32_HWP_STATUS,
- CPUID[6].ECX[0]: MSR_IA32_MPERF, MSR_IA32_APERF
- MSR_IA32_PERF_STATUS(read as base frequency when not owning pCPU)
- MSR_IA32_PERF_CTL(ignore writes)
2. Always hide HWP interrupt and package control MSRs/CPUIDs:
- CPUID[6].EAX[8]: MSR_IA32_HWP_INTERRUPT(currently ACRN is not able
to deliver thermal LVT virtual interrupt to guests)
- CPUID[6].EAX[11,22]: MSR_IA32_HWP_REQUEST_PKG, MSR_IA32_HWP_CTL

When CPU support MONITOR/MWAIT, OS prefer to use it enter
deeper C-state.
Now ACRN pass through MONITOR/MWAIT to guest.
For vCPUs (ie vCPU A and vCPU B) share a pCPU, if vCPU A uses MWait to enter C state,
vCPU B could run only after the time slice of vCPU A is expired. This time slice of
vCPU A is gone to waste.
For Local APIC pass-through (used for RTVM), the guest pay more attention to
timeliness than power saving.
So this patch hides MONITOR/MWAIT by:
1. Clear vCPUID.05H, vCPUID.01H:ECX.[bit 3] and
MSR_IA32_MISC_ENABLE_MONITOR_ENA to tell the guest VM's vCPU
does not support MONITOR/MAIT.
2. Enable MSR_IA32_MISC_ENABLE_MONITOR_ENA bit for
MSR_IA32_MISC_ENABLE inject 'GP'.
3. Trap instruction 'MONITOR' and 'MWAIT' and inject 'UD'.
4. Clear vCPUID.07H:ECX.[bit 5] to hide 'UMONITOR/UMWAIT'.
5. Clear "enable user wait and pause" VM-execution control, so
UMONITOR/MWAIT causes an 'UD'.

The design of ACRN CPU performance management is to let hardware
do the autonomous frequency selection(or set to a fixed value),
and remove guest's ability to control CPU frequency.
This patch is to remove guest's ability to control CPU frequency by
removing the guests' HWP/EIST CPUIDs and blocking the related MSR
accesses. Including:
- Remove CPUID.06H:EAX[7..11] (HWP)
- Remove CPUID.01H:ECX[7] (EIST)
- Inject #GP(0) upon accesses to MSR_IA32_PM_ENABLE,
MSR_IA32_HWP_CAPABILITIES, MSR_IA32_HWP_REQUEST,
MSR_IA32_HWP_STATUS, MSR_IA32_HWP_INTERRUPT,
MSR_IA32_HWP_REQUEST_PKG
- Emulate MSR_IA32_PERF_CTL. Value written to MSR_IA32_PERF_CTL
is just stored for reading. This is like how the native
environment would behavior when EIST is disabled from BIOS.
- Emulate MSR_IA32_PERF_STATUS by filling it with base frequency
state. This is consistent with Windows, which displays current
frequency as base frequency when running in VM.
- Hide the IA32_MISC_ENABLE bit 16 (EIST enable) from guests.
This bit is dependent to CPUID.01H:ECX[7] according to SDM.
- Remove CPID.06H:ECX[0] (hardware coordination feedback)
- Inject #GP(0) upon accesses to IA32_MPERF, IA32_APERF
Also DM do not need to generate _PSS/_PPC for post-launched VMs
anymore. This is done by letting hypercall HC_PM_GET_CPU_STATE sub
command ACRN_PMCMD_GET_PX_CNT and ACRN_PMCMD_GET_PX_DATA return (-1).
