Yifan Liu 69fef2e685 hv: debug: Add hv console callback to VM-exit event
In some scenarios (e.g., nested) where lapic-pt is enabled for a vcpu
running on a pcpu hosting console timer, the hv console will be
inaccessible.

This patch adds the console callback to every VM-exit event so that the
console can still be somewhat functional under such circumstance.

Since this is VM-exit driven, the VM-exit/second can be low in certain
cases (e.g., idle or running stress workload). In extreme cases where
the guest panics/hangs, there will be no VM-exits at all.

In most cases, the shell is laggy but functional (probably enough for
debugging purpose).

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.
