Xiangyang Wu f912953539 HV:treewide:Update exec_vmread/exec_vmwrite and exec_vmread64/exec_vmwrite64
In the hypervisor, VMCS fields include 16-bit fields,
32-bit fields, 64-bit fields and natural-width fields.
In the current implement,  there are exec_vmread/exec_vmwrite
used for accessing 32-bit fields, 64-bit field and
natural-width fields. This usage will confue developer.
So there are many type casting for the return value and
parameters vmread/vmwrite operations.

Since exec_vmread/exec_vmwrite and exec_vmread64/exec_vmwrite64
are the same, update current exec_vmread/exec_vmwrite
implement into exec_vmread64/exec_vmwrite64 implement
and add MACRO define for exec_vmread/exec_vmwrite in
head file;
To access 64-bit fields in VMCS, callers use
exec_vmread64/exec_vmwrite64;
Update related variables type for vmread/vmwrite operations;
Update related caller according to VMCS fields size.

Note:Natural-width fields have 64 bits on processors
that support Intel 64 architecture.To access natural-width
fields in VMCS, callers still use exec_vmread/exec_vmwrite,
keep the current implementation.

V1--V2:
        This is new part of this patch serial to only
        update 64-bit vmread/vmread opertions and related
        caller, for netural width fields, still use exec_vmread
	or exec_vmwrite.
V2-->V3:
	Fix few mistake updations for netural fields in VMCS,
	just keep exec_vmread/exec_vmwrite to access them;
	Fix few mistake updations for 64-bit fields in VMCS.
V3--V4:
	Add "016ll" for 64-bit variable in log function;
	Few updates for coding style;
	Rename lssd32_idx as tr_sel in VMX module.
V4-->V5:
	Use CPU_NATURAL_LAST in the vm_get_register and
	vm_set_register to make condition statement more
	understandable.

Project ACRN Embedded 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.

Community Support
*****************

The Project ACRN Developer Community includes developers from member
organizations and the general community all joining in the development of
software within the project. Members contribute and discuss ideas,
submit bugs and bug fixes. They also help those in need
through the community's forums such as mailing lists and IRC channels. Anyone
can join the developer community and the community is always willing to help
its members and the User Community to get the most out of Project ACRN.

Welcome to the project ARCN community!

We're now holding weekly Technical Community Meetings and encourage you
to call in and learn more about the project. Meeting information is on
the `TCM Meeting page`_ in our `ACRN wiki <https://wiki.projectacrn.org/>`_.

Resources
*********

Here's a quick summary of resources to find your way around the Project
ACRN support systems:

* **Project ACRN Website**: The https://projectacrn.org website is the
  central source of information about the project. On this site, you'll
  find background and current information about the project as well as
  relevant links to project material.  For a quick start, refer to the
  `Introduction`_ and `Getting Started Guide`_.

* **Source Code in GitHub**: Project ACRN source code is maintained on a
  public GitHub repository at https://github.com/projectacrn/acrn-hypervisor.
  You'll find information about getting access to the repository and how to
  contribute to the project in this `Contribution Guide`_ document.

* **Documentation**: Project technical documentation is developed
  along with the project's code, and can be found at
  https://projectacrn.github.io.  Additional documentation is maintained in
  the `Project ACRN GitHub wiki`_.

* **Issue Reporting and Tracking**: Requirements and Issue tracking is done in
  the Github issues system: https://github.com/projectacrn/acrn-hypervisor/issues.
  You can browse through the reported issues and submit issues of your own.

* **Mailing List**: The `Project ACRN Development mailing list`_ is perhaps the most convenient
  way to track developer discussions and to ask your own support questions to
  the project ACRN community.  There are also specific `ACRN mailing list
  subgroups`_ for builds, users, and Technical
  Steering Committee notes, for example.
  You can read through the message archives to follow
  past posts and discussions, a good thing to do to discover more about the
  project.
