simplify the implementation of the x2APIC virtualization assist in VT-x.
Prior to this change the vlapic allowed the guest to change its mode from
xAPIC to x2APIC. We don't allow that any more and the vlapic mode is locked
when the virtual machine is created. This is not very constraining because
operating systems already have to deal with BIOS setting up the APIC in
x2APIC mode at boot.
Fix a bug in the CPUID emulation where the x2APIC capability was leaking
from the host to the guest.
Ignore MMIO reads and writes to the vlapic in x2APIC mode. Similarly, ignore
MSR accesses to the vlapic when it is in xAPIC mode.
The default configuration of the vlapic is xAPIC. The "-x" option to bhyve(8)
can be used to change the mode to x2APIC instead.

the vcpu should be kicked to process a pending interrupt. This will be useful
in the implementation of the Posted Interrupt APICv feature.
Change the return value of 'vlapic_pending_intr()' to indicate whether or not
an interrupt is available to be delivered to the vcpu depending on the value
of the PPR.
Add KTR tracepoints to debug guest IPI delivery.
emulation.
The vlapic initialization and cleanup is done via processor specific vmm_ops.
This will allow the VT-x/SVM modules to layer any hardware-assist for APIC
emulation or virtual interrupt delivery on top of the vlapic device model.
Add a parameter to 'vcpu_notify_event()' to distinguish between vlapic
interrupts versus other events (e.g. NMI). This provides an opportunity to
use hardware-assists like Posted Interrupts (VT-x) or doorbell MSR (SVM)
to deliver an interrupt to a guest without causing a VM-exit.
Get rid of lapic_pending_intr() and lapic_intr_accepted() and use the
vlapic_xxx() counterparts directly.
Associate an 'Apic Page' with each vcpu and reference it from the 'vlapic'.
The 'Apic Page' is intended to be referenced from the Intel VMCS as the
'virtual APIC page' or from the AMD VMCB as the 'vAPIC backing page'.
- Add a generic routine to trigger an LVT interrupt that supports both
fixed and NMI delivery modes.
- Add an ioctl and bhyvectl command to trigger local interrupts inside a
guest. In particular, a global NMI similar to that raised by SERR# or
PERR# can be simulated by asserting LINT1 on all vCPUs.
- Extend the LVT table in the vCPU local APIC to support CMCI.
- Flesh out the local APIC error reporting a bit to cache errors and
report them via ESR when ESR is written to. Add support for asserting
the error LVT when an error occurs. Raise illegal vector errors when
attempting to signal an invalid vector for an interrupt or when sending
an IPI.
- Ignore writes to reserved bits in LVT entries.
- Export table entries the MADT and MP Table advertising the stock x86
config of LINT0 set to ExtInt and LINT1 wired to NMI.

When the guest is bringing up the APs in the x2APIC mode a write to the
ICR register will now trigger a return to userspace with an exitcode of
VM_EXITCODE_SPINUP_AP. This gets SMP guests working again with x2APIC.
Change the vlapic timer lock to be a spinlock because the vlapic can be
accessed from within a critical section (vm run loop) when guest is using
x2apic mode.

This decouples the guest's 'hz' from the host's 'hz' setting. For e.g. it is
now possible to have a guest run at 'hz=1000' while the host is at 'hz=100'.

commit level triggered interrupts would work as long as the pin was not shared
among multiple interrupt sources.
The vlapic now keeps track of level triggered interrupts in the trigger mode
register and will forward the EOI for a level triggered interrupt to the
vioapic. The vioapic in turn uses the EOI to sample the level on the pin and
re-inject the vector if the pin is still asserted.
The vhpet is the first consumer of level triggered interrupts and advertises
that it can generate interrupts on pins 20 through 23 of the vioapic.

On a nested page table fault the hypervisor will:
- fetch the instruction using the guest %rip and %cr3
- decode the instruction in 'struct vie'
- emulate the instruction in host kernel context for local apic accesses
- any other type of mmio access is punted up to user-space (e.g. ioapic)
The decoded instruction is passed as collateral to the user-space process
that is handling the PAGING exit.
The emulation code is fleshed out to include more addressing modes (e.g. SIB)
and more types of operands (e.g. imm8). The source code is unified into a
single file (vmm_instruction_emul.c) that is compiled into vmm.ko as well
as /usr/sbin/bhyve.

Also modify the lapic_mmio() API so that a decoded instruction is fed into it
instead of having it fetch the instruction bytes from the guest. This is
useful for hardware assists like SVM that provide the faulting instruction
as part of the vmexit.
