KVM: x86: Silence various LAPIC-related host kernel messages
KVM-x86 dumps a lot of debug messages that have no meaning for normal
operation:
- INIT de-assertion is ignored
- SIPIs are sent and received
- APIC writes are unaligned or < 4 byte long
(Windows Server 2003 triggers this on SMP)
Degrade them to true debug messages, keeping the host kernel log clean
for real problems.

The PIC code makes little effort to avoid kvm_vcpu_kick(), resulting in
unnecessary guest exits in some conditions.
For example, if the timer interrupt is routed through the IOAPIC, IRR
for IRQ 0 will get set but not cleared, since the APIC is handling the
acks.
This means that everytime an interrupt < 16 is triggered, the priority
logic will find IRQ0 pending and send an IPI to vcpu0 (in case IRQ0 is
not masked, which is Linux's case).
Introduce a new variable isr_ack to represent the IRQ's for which the
guest has been signalled / cleared the ISR. Use it to avoid more than
one IPI per trigger-ack cycle, in addition to the avoidance when ISR is
set in get_priority().

Allow guest pagetables to go out of sync. Instead of emulating write
accesses to guest pagetables, or unshadowing them, we un-write-protect
the page table and allow the guest to modify it at will. We rely on

the entire pagetable on tlb flushes.

There is not much point in write protecting large mappings. This
can only happen when a page is shadowed during the window between
is_largepage_backed and mmu_lock acquision. Zap the entry instead, so
the next pagefault will find a shadowed page via is_largepage_backed and
fallback to 4k translations.

Add DstAcc operand type. That means that there are 4 bits now for
DstMask.
"In the good old days cpus would have only one register that was able to
fully participate in arithmetic operations, typically called A for
Accumulator. The x86 retains this tradition by having special, shorter
encodings for the A register (like the cmp opcode), and even some
instructions that only operate on A (like mul).
SrcAcc and DstAcc would accommodate these instructions by decoding A
into the corresponding 'struct operand'."

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)

The device to be assigned to the guest is registered in the host kernel

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.
