By changing the way to assign L1 VPID from bottom-up to top-down,
the possibilities for VPID conflicts between L1 and L2 guests are
small.
Then we can flush VPID just in case of conflicting.

is_lapic_pt_enabled() is called at least twice in one loop of the vCPU
thread, and it's called in vmexit_handler() frequently if LAPIC is not
pass-through. Thus the efficiency of this function has direct
impact to the system performance.
Since the LAPIC mode is not changed in run time, we don't have to
calculate it on the fly in is_lapic_pt_enabled().
BTW, removed the unused lapic_mask from struct acrn_vcpu_arch.

Use an unused MSR on host to save ACRN pcpu ID and avoid saving and
restoring TSC AUX MSR on VMX transitions.

- remove vcpu->arch.nrexits which is useless.
- record full 32 bits of exit_reason to TRACE_2L(). Make the code simpler.

This helps to improve performance:
- Don't need to execute VMREAD in vcpu_get_efer(), which is frequently
called.
- VMX_EXIT_CTLS_SAVE_EFER can be removed from VM-Exit Controls.
- If the value of IA32_EFER MSR is identical between the host and guest
(highly likely), adjust the VMX controls not to load IA32_EFER on
VMExit and VMEntry.
It's convenient to continue use the exiting vcpu_s/get_efer() APIs,
other than the common vcpu_s/get_guest_msr().

ACRN could run without XSAVE Capability. So remove XSAVE dependence to support
more (hardware or virtual) platforms.

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.

TPAUSE, UMONITOR or UMWAIT instructions execution in guest VM cause
a #UD if "enable user wait and pause" (bit 26) of VMX_PROCBASED_CTLS2
is not set. To fix this issue, set the bit 26 of VMX_PROCBASED_CTLS2.
Besides, these WAITPKG instructions uses MSR_IA32_UMWAIT_CONTROL. So
load corresponding vMSR value during context switch in of a vCPU.
Please note, the TPAUSE or UMWAIT instruction causes a VM exit if the
"RDTSC exiting" and "enable user wait and pause" are both 1. In ACRN
hypervisor, "RDTSC exiting" is always 0. So TPAUSE or UMWAIT doesn't
cause a VM exit.
Performance impact:
MSR_IA32_UMWAIT_CONTROL read costs ~19 cycles;
MSR_IA32_UMWAIT_CONTROL write costs ~63 cycles.

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