Zide Chen 9761eede2a hv: cleanup IA32_PAT emulation code r.w.t. to the refactored guest_msrs[]
Currently there are two fields in ext_context to emulate IA32_PAT MSR:
- ia32_pat: hold the value of the emulated IA32_PAT MSR
- vmx_ia32_pat: used for load/store IA32_PAT MSR during world switch

This patch moves ext_context->ia32_pat to the common placeholder for
emulated MSRs acrn_vcpu_arch->guest_msrs[].

Also it renames ext_context->vmx_ia32_pat to ext_context->ia32_pat to
retain same naming convention in struct ext_context.

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.
