dongshen f332ef15b2 hv: vlapic: use physical APIC IDs as vLAPIC IDs for pre-launched and post-launched VMs
In current code, ACRN uses physical APIC IDs as vLAPIC IDs for SOS,
and vCPU ids (contiguous) as vLAPIC IDs for pre-Launched and post-Launched VMs.

Using vCPU ids as vLAPIC IDs for pre-Launched and post-Launched VMs
would result in wrong CPU and cache topologies showing in the guest VMs,
and could adversely affect performance if the guest VM chooses to detect
CPU and cache topologies and optimize its behavior accordingly.

Uses physical APIC IDs as vLAPIC IDs (and related CPU/cache topology enumeration
CPUIDs passthrough) will replicate the host CPU and cache topologies in pre-Launched
and post-Launched VMs.

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.
