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().

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

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