dongshen 3e1fa0fb98 hv: hypercall: 72 reserved bytes are used in struct hc_platform_info to pass physical APIC and cat IDs shift to DM
So that DM can retrieve physical APIC IDs and use them to fill in the ACPI MADT table for
post-launched VMs.

Note:
1. DM needs to use the same logic as hypervisor to calculate vLAPIC IDs based on physical APIC IDs
and CPU affinity setting

2. Using reserved0[] in struct hc_platform_info to pass physical APIC IDs means we can only support at
most 116 cores. And it assumes LAPIC ID is 8bits (X2APIC mode supports 32 bits).

Cat IDs shift will be used by DM RTCT V2

ACRN Hypervisor
###############

The open source `Project ACRN`_ defines a device hypervisor reference stack and
an architecture for running multiple software subsystems, managed securely, on
a consolidated system by means of a virtual machine manager. It also defines a
reference framework implementation for virtual device emulation, called the
"ACRN Device Model".

The ACRN Hypervisor is a Type 1 reference hypervisor stack, running directly on
the bare-metal hardware, and is suitable for a variety of IoT and embedded
device solutions. The ACRN hypervisor addresses the gap that currently exists
between datacenter hypervisors, and hard partitioning hypervisors. The ACRN
hypervisor architecture partitions the system into different functional
domains, with carefully selected guest OS sharing optimizations for IoT and
embedded devices.

You can find out more about Project ACRN on the `Project ACRN documentation`_
website.
