This patch enables INIT/SIPI handling using in-kernel APIC by
introducing a ->mp_state field to emulate the SMP state transition.

APIC timer IRQ is set every time when a certain period
expires at host time, but the guest may be descheduled
at that time and thus the irq be overwritten by later fire.
This patch keep track of firing irq numbers and decrease
only when the IRQ is injected to guest or buffered in
APIC.

Because lightweight exits (exits which don't involve userspace) are many
times faster than heavyweight exits, it makes sense to emulate high usage
devices in the kernel. The local APIC is one such device, especially for
Windows and for SMP, so we add an APIC model to kvm.
It also allows in-kernel host-side drivers to inject interrupts without
going through userspace.

vmx_load_host_state() bundles fs, gs, ldt, and tss reloading into
one in the hope that it is infrequent. With smp guests, fs reloading is
frequent due to fs being used by threads.
Unbundle the reloads so reduce expensive gs reloads.

We need to check for signals inside the critical section, otherwise a
signal can be sent which we will not notice. Also move the check
before entry, so that if the signal happens before the first entry,
we exit immediately instead of waiting for something to happen to the
guest.

Both vmx and svm decode the I/O instructions, and both botch the job,
requiring the instruction prefixes to be fetched in order to completely
decode the instruction.
So, if we see a string I/O instruction, use the x86 emulator to decode it,
as it already has all the prefix decoding machinery.
This patch defines ins/outs opcodes in x86_emulate.c and calls
emulate_instruction() from io_interception() (svm.c) and from handle_io()
(vmx.c). It removes all vmx/svm prefix instruction decoders
(get_addr_size(), io_get_override(), io_address(), get_io_count())
