Current IO emulation is synchronous. The user VM need to wait for the
completion of the the I/O request before return. But Virtio Spec
introduces introduces asynchronous IO with a new register in MMIO/PIO
space named NOTIFY, to be used for FE driver to notify BE driver, ACRN
hypervisor can emulate this register by sending a notification to vCPU
in Service VM side. This way, FE side can resume to work without waiting
for the full completion of BE side response.

INIT signal has been used to kick off the partitioned pCPU, like RTVM,
whose LAPIC is pass-through. notification IPI is used to kick off
sharing pCPU.
Add mode_to_kick_pcpu in per-cpu to control the way of kicking
pCPU.

Many of the license and Intel copyright headers include the "All rights
reserved" string. It is not relevant in the context of the BSD-3-Clause
license that the code is released under. This patch removes those strings
throughout the code (hypervisor, devicemodel and misc).

This patch adds a new priority based scheduler to support
vCPU scheduling based on their pre-configured priorities.
A vCPU can be running only if there is no higher priority
vCPU running on the same pCPU.

x86/timer.[ch] was moved to the common directory largely unchanged.
x86 specific code now resides in x86/tsc_deadline_timer.c and its
interface was defined in hw/hw_timer.h. The interface defines two
functions: init_hw_timer() and set_hw_timeout() that provides HW
specific initialization and timer interrupt source.
Other than these two functions, the timer module is largely arch
agnostic.

Instead of "#include <x86/foo.h>", use "#include <asm/foo.h>".
In other words, we are adopting the same practice in Linux kernel.
