loading is skipped. Their consistency is already checked now before

As we may emulate the loading of EFER on VM-entry and VM-exit, implement
the checks that VMX performs on the guest and host values on vmlaunch/
vmresume. Factor out kvm_valid_efer for this purpose which checks for
set reserved bits.

The logic for checking if interrupts can be injected has to be applied
also on NMIs. The difference is that if NMI interception is on these
events are consumed and blocked by the VM exit.

If userspace creates and destroys multiple VMs within the same process
we leak 20k of memory in the userspace process context per VM. This
patch frees the memory in kvm_arch_destroy_vm. If the process exits
without closing the VM file descriptor or the file descriptor has been
shared with another process then we don't free the memory.
It's still possible for a user space process to leak memory if the last
process to close the fd for the VM is not the process that created it.
However, this is an unexpected case that's only caused by a user space
process that's misbehaving.

Allocate a shadow vmcs used by the processor to shadow part of the fields
stored in the software defined VMCS12 (let L1 access fields without causing

becomes non-current, its shadow vmcs is released.

handle_vmon doesn't check if L1 is already in root mode (VMXON
was previously called). This patch adds this missing check and calls
nested_vmx_failValid if VMX is already ON.
We need this check because L0 will allocate the shadow vmcs when L1
executes VMXON and we want to avoid host leaks (due to shadow vmcs
allocation) if L1 executes VMXON repeatedly.

Prepare vmread and vmwrite bitmaps according to a pre-specified list of fields.
These lists are intended to specifiy most frequent accessed fields so we can
minimize the number of fields that are copied from/to the software controlled
VMCS12 format to/from to processor-specific shadow vmcs. The lists were built
measuring the VMCS fields access rate after L2 Ubuntu 12.04 booted when it was
running on top of L1 KVM, also Ubuntu 12.04. Note that during boot there were
additional fields which were frequently modified but they were not added to
these lists because after boot these fields were not longer accessed by L1.
