Wu Zhou db83648a8d hv: hide thermal interface from guests
Thermal events are delivered through lapic thermal LVT. Currently
ACRN does not support delivering those interrupts to guests by
virtual lapic. They need to be virtualized to provide guests some
thermal management abilities. Currently we just hide thermal
lvt from guests, including:

1. Thermal LVT:
There is no way to hide thermal LVT from guests. But we need do
something to make sure no interrupt can be actually trigered:
  - skip thermal LVT in vlapic_trigger_lvt()
  - trap-and-emulate thermal LVT in lapic-pt mode

2. As We have plan to introduce virtualization of thermal monitor in the
future, we use a vm flag GUEST_FLAG_VTM which is default 0 to control
the access to it. So that it can help enabling VTM in the future.

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.
