Junjie Mao a1069a5117 HV: ioapic: unify the access pattern to RTEs
There are two different ways the current implementation adopts to access ioapic
RTEs:

    1. As two 32-bit registers (typically named ''low'' and ''high''), or

    2. As one 64-bit register (typically named ''rte'').

Two issues arise due to the mixed use of these two patterns.

    1. Additional conversions are introduced. As an example, ioapic_get_rte()
       merges two RTE fragments into a uint64_t, while some callers break it
       back to ''low'' and ''high'' again.

    2. It is tricky to choose the proper width of IOAPIC_RTE_xxx constants. SOS
       boot failure is seen when they are 32-bit due to the following code:

           /* reg is uint64_t */
           vioapic->rtbl[pin].reg &= ~IOAPIC_RTE_REM_IRR;

       while making them 64-bit leads to implicit narrowing when the RTEs are accessed
       in the low & high pattern.

This patch defines a union ''ioapic_rte'' and unifies the access pattern
to IOAPIC and vIOAPIC RTEs.

v1 -> v2:

    * Instead of two 32-bit ''low'' and ''high'', define a union that allows
      either 32-bit or 64-bit accesses to RTEs.

Embedded-Hypervisor
###################

This open source embedded hypervisor defines a software architecture for
running multiple software subsystems managed securely on a consolidated
system (by means of a virtual machine manager), and defines a reference
framework Device Model implementation for devices emulation

This embedded hypervisor is type-1 reference hypervisor, running
directly on the system hardware. It can be used for building software
defined cockpit (SDC) or In-Vehicle Experience (IVE) solutions running
on Intel Architecture Apollo Lake platforms. As a reference
implementation, it provides the basis for embedded hypervisor vendors to
build solutions with an open source reference I/O mediation solution,
and provides auto makers a reference software stack for SDC usage.

This embedded hypervisor is able to support both Linux* and Android* as
a Guest OS, managed by the hypervisor, where applications can run.

This embedded hypervisor is a partitioning hypervisor reference stack,
also suitable for non-automotive IoT & embedded device solutions. It
will be addressing the gap that currently exists between datacenter
hypervisors, hard partitioning hypervisors, and select industrial
applications.  Extending the scope of this open source embedded
hypervisor relies on the involvement of community developers like you!
