PATCH 1/1 KVM: x86: nVMX: support for MSR loading/storing

Several hypervisors use MSR loading/storing to run guests. This patch implements emulation of this feature and allows these hypervisors to work in L1.

The following is emulated:
- Loading MSRs on VM-entries
- Saving MSRs on VM-exits
- Loading MSRs on VM-exits

Actions taken on loading MSRs:
- MSR load area is verified
- For each MSR entry from load area:
- MSR load entry is read and verified
- MSR value is safely written
Actions taken on storing MSRs:
- MSR store area is verified
- For each MSR entry from store area:
- MSR entry is read and verified
- MSR value is safely read using MSR index from MSR entry
- MSR value is written to MSR entry

The code performs checks required by Intel Software Developer Manual.

This patch is partially based on Wincy Wan's work.

Typo in name -> ^

I have added Jan and Wincy to the CC list since they reviewed your earlier proposal. I think it would be better to split this up as I mentioned earlier, however, if the other reviewers and the maintainer don't have objections, I am ok :)

Since Wincy send out his patch before you, I prefer he send out a newer version which fix issues in his own patch, then you can send out another enhanced one based on Wincy's work.

Hi, Eugene, is it okay to split my part up?

I think the patch is atomic. No ideas how this patch could be split without breaking its integrity.
You are a co-author of the patch since your ideas make significant part of it.

I was suggesting adding the interfaces you introduced in the first patch and then using these interfaces in the second patch to make reviewing easier. It's ok to mention that the second depends on the first.

If Wincy has code contributions to the patch, he should sign it off too, else maybe add a Suggested-by to give him credit for his ideas.

Also, please include a "v3" in the Subject when you submit your next version.
