dongshen a7014f4654 hv: vCAT: implementing the vCAT MSRs write handler
Implement the write_vcbm() function to handle the
MSR_IA32_type_MASK_n vCBM MSRs write request

Call write_vclosid() to handle MSR_IA32_PQR_ASSOC MSR write request

Several vCAT P2V (physical to virtual) and V2P (virtual to physical)
mappings exist:

   struct acrn_vm_config *vm_config = get_vm_config(vm_id)

   max_pcbm = vm_config->max_type_pcbm (type: l2 or l3)
   mask_shift = ffs64(max_pcbm)

   vclosid = vmsr - MSR_IA32_type_MASK_0
   pclosid = vm_config->pclosids[vclosid]

   pmsr = MSR_IA32_type_MASK_0 + pclosid
   pcbm = vcbm << mask_shift
   vcbm = pcbm >> mask_shift

   Where
   MSR_IA32_type_MASK_n: L2 or L3 mask msr address for CLOSIDn, from
   0C90H through 0D8FH (inclusive).

   max_pcbm: a bitmask that selects all the physical cache ways assigned to the VM

   vclosid: virtual CLOSID, always starts from 0

   pclosid: corresponding physical CLOSID for a given vclosid

   vmsr: virtual msr address, passed to vCAT handlers by the
   caller functions rdmsr_vmexit_handler()/wrmsr_vmexit_handler()

   pmsr: physical msr address

   vcbm: virtual CBM, passed to vCAT handlers by the
   caller functions rdmsr_vmexit_handler()/wrmsr_vmexit_handler()

   pcbm: physical CBM

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.
