VMX hardware can cache the contents of a vcpu's vmcs. This cache needs
to be flushed when migrating a vcpu to another cpu, or (which is the case
that interests us here) when disabling hardware virtualization on a cpu.
The current implementation of decaching iterates over the list of all vcpus,
picks the ones that are potentially cached on the cpu that is being offlined,
and flushes the cache. The problem is that it uses mutex_trylock() to gain
exclusive access to the vcpu, which fires off a (benign) warning about using
the mutex in an interrupt context.
To avoid this, and to make things generally nicer, add a new per-cpu list
of potentially cached vcus. This makes the decaching code much simpler. The
list is vmx-specific since other hardware doesn't have this issue.

KVM turns off hardware virtualization extensions during reboot, in order
to disassociate the memory used by the virtualization extensions from the
processor, and in order to have the system in a consistent state.
Unfortunately virtual machines may still be running while this goes on,
and once virtualization extensions are turned off, any virtulization
instruction will #UD on execution.
Fix by adding an exception handler to virtualization instructions; if we get
an exception during reboot, we simply spin waiting for the reset to complete.
If it's a true exception, BUG() so we can have our stack trace.

The KVM MMU tries to detect when a speculative pte update is not actually
used by demand fault, by checking the accessed bit of the shadow pte. If
the shadow pte has not been accessed, we deem that page table flooded and
remove the shadow page table, allowing further pte updates to proceed
without emulation.
However, if the pte itself points at a page table and only used for write
operations, the accessed bit will never be set since all access will happen
through the emulator.
This is exactly what happens with kscand on old (2.4.x) HIGHMEM kernels.
The kernel points a kmap_atomic() pte at a page table, and then
proceeds with read-modify-write operations to look at the dirty and accessed
bits. We get a false flood trigger on the kmap ptes, which results in the
mmu spending all its time setting up and tearing down shadows.
Fix by setting the shadow accessed bit on emulated accesses.

Attached is a patch that fixes a guest crash when booting older Linux kernels.
The problem stems from the fact that we are currently emulating
MSR_K7_EVNTSEL[0-3], but not emulating MSR_K7_PERFCTR[0-3]. Because of this,
setup_k7_watchdog() in the Linux kernel receives a GPF when it attempts to
write into MSR_K7_PERFCTR, which causes an OOPs.
The patch fixes it by just "fake" emulating the appropriate MSRs, throwing
away the data in the process. This causes the NMI watchdog to not actually
work, but it's not such a big deal in a virtualized environment.
When we get a write to one of these counters, we printk_ratelimit() a warning.
I decided to print it out for all writes, even if the data is 0; it doesn't
seem to make sense to me to special case when data == 0.
Tested by myself on a RHEL-4 guest, and Joerg Roedel on a Windows XP 64-bit
guest.

The in-kernel PIT emulation ignores pending timers if operating
under mode 3, which for example Hurd uses.
This mode should output a square wave, high for (N+1)/2 counts and low
for (N-1)/2 counts. As we only care about the resulting interrupts, the
period is N, and mode 3 is the same as mode 2 with regard to
interrupts.

Right, I never liked having to fiddle with those TIF flags. Initially I
needed it because the hrtimer base lock could not nest in the rq lock.
That however is fixed these days.
Currently the only reason left to fiddle with the TIF flags is remote
wakeups. We cannot program a remote cpu's hrtimer. I've been thinking
about using the new and improved IPI function call stuff to implement
hrtimer_start_on().
However that does require that smp_call_function_single(.wait=0) works
from interrupt context - /me looks at the latest series from Jens - Yes
that does seem to be supported, good.
Here's a stab at cleaning this stuff up ...
