Some guests or driver might depend on MTRR to work properly. E.g. the
nvidia gpu driver won't work without MTRR.

Bhyve's vmm is a self-contained modern component and thus a good
candidate for use of C99 types.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using misidentified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.

capability of VT-x. This lets bhyve run nested in older VMware versions that
don't support the PAT save/restore capability.
Note that the actual value programmed by the guest in MSR_PAT is irrelevant
because bhyve sets the 'Ignore PAT' bit in the nested PTE.

code. There are only a handful of MSRs common between the two so there isn't
too much duplicate functionality.
The VT-x code has the following types of MSRs:
- MSRs that are unconditionally saved/restored on every guest/host context
switch (e.g., MSR_GSBASE).
- MSRs that are restored to guest values on entry to vmx_run() and saved
before returning. This is an optimization for MSRs that are not used in
host kernel context (e.g., MSR_KGSBASE).
- MSRs that are emulated and every access by the guest causes a trap into
the hypervisor (e.g., MSR_IA32_MISC_ENABLE).

otherwise, a single-line summary is displayed.
- Add read-only sysctls for optional VT-x capabilities used by bhyve
under a new hw.vmm.vmx.cap node. Move a few exiting sysctls that
indicate the presence of optional capabilities under this node.
