Zide Chen 86526cddc5 hv: disable more features from guest CPUID
Silicon Debug Feature: CPUID.01H.ECX[11]
- We can't allow guests to have direct access to silicon wide resources.

Machine Check Exception: CPUID.01H.EDX[5]
- Need HV support before exposing it to the guests.

Perfmon and Debug: CPUID.01H.ECX[15]
Debug Store: CPUID.01H.EDX[21], CPUID.01H.ECX[2], CPUID.01H.ECX[4]
- HV emulation is needed to separate host and guest monitoring data.
- guest CPUID.0AH is forced to all-zero in ACRN so it makes sense to clear
  these bits as well.

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.
