The performance counter MSRs are different for AMD and Intel CPUs and they
are chosen mainly by the CPUID vendor string. This patch catches writes to
all addresses (regardless of VMX/SVM path) and handles them in the generic
MSR handler routine. Writing a 0 into the event select register is something
we perfectly emulate ;-), so don't print out a warning to dmesg in this
case.
This fixes booting a 64bit Windows guest with an AMD CPUID on an Intel host.

"Unrestricted Guest" feature is added in the VMX specification.
Intel Westmere and onwards processors will support this feature.
It allows kvm guests to run real mode and unpaged mode
code natively in the VMX mode when EPT is turned on. With the
unrestricted guest there is no need to emulate the guest real mode code
in the vm86 container or in the emulator. Also the guest big real mode
code works like native.
The attached patch enhances KVM to use the unrestricted guest feature
if available on the processor. It also adds a new kernel/module
parameter to disable the unrestricted guest feature at the boot time.

Callers of alloc_pages_node() can optionally specify -1 as a node to mean
"allocate from the current node". However, a number of the callers in
fast paths know for a fact their node is valid. To avoid a comparison and
branch, this patch adds alloc_pages_exact_node() that only checks the nid
with VM_BUG_ON(). Callers that know their node is valid are then
converted.

VT-x needs an explicit MC vector intercept to handle machine checks in the
hyper visor.
It also has a special option to catch machine checks that happen
during VT entry.
Do these interceptions and forward them to the Linux machine check
handler. Make it always look like user space is interrupted because
the machine check handler treats kernel/user space differently.

Memory aliases with different memory type is a problem for guest. For the guest
without assigned device, the memory type of guest memory would always been the
same as host(WB); but for the assigned device, some part of memory may be used
as DMA and then set to uncacheable memory type(UC/WC), which would be a conflict of
host memory type then be a potential issue.
Snooping control can guarantee the cache correctness of memory go through the
DMA engine of VT-d.
