The raw_spin* namespace was taken by lockdep for the architecture
specific implementations. raw_spin_* would be the ideal name space for
the spinlocks which are not converted to sleeping locks in preempt-rt.
Linus suggested to convert the raw_ to arch_ locks and cleanup the
name space instead of using an artifical name like core_spin,
atomic_spin or whatever
No functional change.

The current rd/wrmsr_on_cpus helpers assume that the supplied
cpumasks are contiguous. However, there are machines out there
like some K8 multinode Opterons which have a non-contiguous core
enumeration on each node (e.g. cores 0,2 on node 0 instead of 0,1), see
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/linux/kernel/1160268.
This patch fixes out-of-bounds writes (see URL above) by adding per-CPU
msr structs which are used on the respective cores.
Additionally, two helpers, msrs_{alloc,free}, are provided for use by
the callers of the MSR accessors.

It turns out the BIOS is using the first 64k for mptable,
without reserving it.
So try to find good range for the real-mode trampoline instead of
hard coding it, in case some bios tries to use that range for sth.

update_transition_efer() masks out some efer bits when deciding whether
to switch the msr during guest entry; for example, NX is emulated using the
mmu so we don't need to disable it, and LMA/LME are handled by the hardware.
However, with shared msrs, the comparison is made against a stale value;
at the time of the guest switch we may be running with another guest's efer.
Fix by deferring the mask/compare to the actual point of guest entry.

we switch them on every vcpu preemption, which is far too often:
- if we're switching to a kernel thread (idle task, threaded interrupt,
kernel-mode virtio server (vhost-net), for example) and back, then
there's no need to switch those MSRs since kernel threasd won't
be exiting to userspace.
- if we're switching to another guest running an identical OS, most likely
those MSRs will have the same value, so there's little point in reloading
them.
- if we're running the same OS on the guest and host, the MSRs will have
identical values and reloading is unnecessary.
This patch uses the new user return notifiers to implement last-minute
switching, and checks the msr values to avoid unnecessary reloading.

When we migrate a kvm guest that uses pvclock between two hosts, we may
suffer a large skew. This is because there can be significant differences
between the monotonic clock of the hosts involved. When a new host with
a much larger monotonic time starts running the guest, the view of time
will be significantly impacted.
Situation is much worse when we do the opposite, and migrate to a host with
a smaller monotonic clock.
This proposed ioctl will allow userspace to inform us what is the monotonic
clock value in the source host, so we can keep the time skew short, and
more importantly, never goes backwards. Userspace may also need to trigger
the current data, since from the first migration onwards, it won't be
reflected by a simple call to clock_gettime() anymore.

Commit 705c5323 opened the doors of hell by unconditionally injecting
single-step flags as long as guest_debug signaled this. This doesn't
work when the guest branches into some interrupt or exception handler
and triggers a vmexit with flag reloading.
Fix it by saving cs:rip when user space requests single-stepping and
restricting the trace flag injection to this guest code position.

Support for Xen PV-on-HVM guests can be implemented almost entirely in
userspace, except for handling one annoying MSR that maps a Xen
hypercall blob into guest address space.
A generic mechanism to delegate MSR writes to userspace seems overkill
and risks encouraging similar MSR abuse in the future. Thus this patch
adds special support for the Xen HVM MSR.
I implemented a new ioctl, KVM_XEN_HVM_CONFIG, that lets userspace tell
KVM which MSR the guest will write to, as well as the starting address
and size of the hypercall blobs (one each for 32-bit and 64-bit) that
userspace has loaded from files. When the guest writes to the MSR, KVM
copies one page of the blob from userspace to the guest.
I've tested this patch with a hacked-up version of Gerd's userspace
code, booting a number of guests (CentOS 5.3 i386 and x86_64, and
FreeBSD 8.0-RC1 amd64) and exercising PV network and block devices.
