Even though we don't share irqs at the moment, we should ensure
regular user processes don't try to allocate system resources.
We check for capability to access IO devices (CAP_SYS_RAWIO) before
we request_irq on behalf of the guest.

The irq ack during pic reset has three problems:
- Ignores slave/master PIC, using gsi 0-8 for both.
- Generates an ACK even if the APIC is in control.
- Depends upon IMR being clear, which is broken if the irq was masked
at the time it was generated.
The last one causes the BIOS to hang after the first reboot of
Windows installation, since PIT interrupts stop.

We're in a hot path. We can't use kmalloc() because
it might impact performance. So, we just stick the buffer that
we need into the kvm_vcpu_arch structure. This is used very
often, so it is not really a waste.
We also have to move the buffer structure's definition to the
arch-specific x86 kvm header.

On my machine with gcc 3.4, kvm uses ~2k of stack in a few
select functions. This is mostly because gcc fails to
notice that the different case: statements could have their
stack usage combined. It overflows very nicely if interrupts
happen during one of these large uses.
This patch uses two methods for reducing stack usage.
1. dynamically allocate large objects instead of putting
on the stack.
2. Use a union{} member for all of the case variables. This
tricks gcc into combining them all into a single stack
allocation. (There's also a comment on this)

Based on a patch from: Amit Shah <amit.shah@qumranet.com>
This patch adds support for handling PCI devices that are assigned to
the guest.
The device to be assigned to the guest is registered in the host kernel
and interrupt delivery is handled. If a device is already assigned, or
the device driver for it is still loaded on the host, the device
assignment is failed by conveying a -EBUSY reply to the userspace.
Devices that share their interrupt line are not supported at the moment.
By itself, this patch will not make devices work within the guest.
The VT-d extension is required to enable the device to perform DMA.
Another alternative is PVDMA.

We're currently facing timing problems in guests that do
calibration under heavy load, and then the load vanishes.
This means we'll have a much lower lpj than we actually should,
and delays end up taking less time than they should, which is a
nasty bug.
Solution is to pass on the lpj value from host to guest, and have it
preset.

The PIT injection logic is problematic under the following cases:
1) If there is a higher priority vector to be delivered by the time
kvm_pit_timer_intr_post is invoked ps->inject_pending won't be set.
This opens the possibility for missing many PIT event injections (say if
guest executes hlt at this point).
2) ps->inject_pending is racy with more than two vcpus. Since there's no locking
around read/dec of pt->pending, two vcpu's can inject two interrupts for a single
pt->pending count.
Fix 1 by using an irq ack notifier: only reinject when the previous irq
has been acked. Fix 2 with appropriate locking around manipulation of
pending count and irq_ack by the injection / ack paths.

which was based on a patch from: Amit Shah <amit.shah@qumranet.com>
Notify IRQ acking on PIC/APIC emulation. The previous patch missed two things:
- Edge triggered interrupts on IOAPIC
- PIC reset with IRR/ISR set should be equivalent to ack (LAPIC probably

When we use TID=N userspace mappings, we must ensure that kernel mappings have
been destroyed when entering userspace. Using TID=1/TID=0 for kernel/user
mappings and running userspace with PID=0 means that userspace can't access the
kernel mappings, but the kernel can directly access userspace.
The net is that we don't need to flush the TLB on privilege switches, but we do
on guest context switches (which are far more infrequent). Guest boot time
performance improvement: about 30%.

We're saving the host TLB state to memory on every exit, but never using it.
Originally I had thought that we'd want to restore host TLB for heavyweight
exits, but that could actually hurt when context switching to an unrelated host
process (i.e. not qemu).
Since this decreases the performance penalty of all exits, this patch improves
guest boot time by about 15%.

Netware writes to DEBUGCTL and reads from the DEBUGCTL and LAST*IP MSRs
without further checks and is really confused to receive a #GP during that.
To make it happy we should just make them stubs, which is exactly what SVM
already does.
Writes to DEBUGCTL that are vendor-specific are resembled to behave as if the
virtual CPU does not know them.

The current kvmtrace code uses get_cycles() while the interpretation would be
easier using using nanoseconds. ktime_get() should give at least the same
accuracy as get_cycles on all architectures (even better on 32bit archs) but
at a better unit (e.g. comparable between hosts with different frequencies.

As we execute real mode guests in VM86 mode, exception have to be
reinjected appropriately when the guest triggered them. For this purpose
the patch adopts the real-mode injection pattern used in vmx_inject_irq
to vmx_queue_exception, additionally taking care that the IP is set
correctly for #BP exceptions. Furthermore it extends
handle_rmode_exception to reinject all those exceptions that can be
raised in real mode.
This fixes the execution of himem.exe from FreeDOS and also makes its
debug.com work properly.
Note that guest debugging in real mode is broken now. This has to be
fixed by the scheduled debugging infrastructure rework (will be done
once base patches for QEMU have been accepted).

The vmx code assumes that IDT-Vectoring can only be set when an exception
is injected due to the exception in question. That's not true, however:
if the exception is injected correctly, and later another exception occurs
but its delivery is blocked due to a fault, then we will incorrectly assume
the first exception was not delivered.
Fix by unconditionally dequeuing the pending exception, and requeuing it
(or the second exception) if we see it in the IDT-Vectoring field.
