Binbin Wu 98b3d98ac5 hv: vmsr: add IA32_MISC_ENABLE to msr store area
Currently MSR IA32_MISC_ENABLE is passthrough to guest.
However, guest may change the value of this MSR, which will cause issue in hypervisor.
This patch uses VMX MSR store area to isolate the MSR IA32_MISC_ENABLE between guest and host.

TODO:
Some bits of the MSR IA32_MISC_ENABLE is not just per core, but per package.
So need to check if need to prevent guest from setting or clearing these bits that may affect other cores.

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.
