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

This patch changes the PIC interrupts delivery. Now it is only delivered
to vcpu0 when either condition is met (on vcpu0):
1. local APIC is hardware disabled
2. LVT0 is unmasked and configured to delivery mode ExtInt
It fixes the 2x faster wall clock on x86_64 and SMP i386 Linux guests

This reduces overhead by accessing cachelines from the wrong node, as well
as simplifying locking.

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.

This patch enables TPR shadow of VMX on CR8 access. 64bit Windows using
CR8 access TPR frequently. The TPR shadow can improve the performance of
access TPR by not causing vmexit.

This patch adds a new vcpu-based IOCTL to save and restore the local
apic registers for a single vcpu. The kernel only copies the apic page as
a whole, extraction of registers is left to userspace side. On restore, the
APIC timer is restarted from the initial count, this introduces a little
delay, but works fine.

This patch adds support for in-kernel ioapic save and restore (to
and from userspace). It uses the same get/set_irqchip ioctl as
in-kernel PIC.

vcpu->irq_pending is saved in get/set_sreg IOCTL, but when in-kernel
local APIC is used, doing this may occasionally overwrite vcpu->apic to
an invalid value, as in the vm restore path.

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.
