- EFER_LME and EFER_LMA should respect the long mode consistency checks.
- EFER_NXE, EFER_FFXSR, EFER_TCE can be set if allowed by CPUID capabilities.
- Flag an error if guest tries to set EFER_LMSLE since bhyve doesn't enforce
segment limits in 64-bit mode.

This makes FreeBSD guest to not avoid using LAPIC timer, preferring HPET
due to worries about non-existing for virtual CPUs deep sleep states.
Benchmarks of usleep(1) on guest and host show such extra latencies:
- 51us for virtual HPET,
- 22us for virtual LAPIC timer,
- 22us for host HPET and
- 3us for host LAPIC timer.

bhyve doesn't emulate the MSRs needed to support this feature at this time.
Don't expose any model-specific RAS and performance monitoring features in
cpuid leaf 80000007H.
Emulate a few more MSRs for AMD: TSEG base address, TSEG address mask and
BIOS signature and P-state related MSRs.
This eliminates all the unimplemented MSRs accessed by Linux/x86_64 kernels
2.6.32, 3.10.0 and 3.17.0.

Ignore writes to a couple more AMD-specific MSRs and return 0 on read.
This further reduces the unimplemented MSRs accessed by a Linux guest on boot.

Handle accesses to PerfCtrX and PerfEvtSelX MSRs by ignoring writes and
returning 0 on reads.
This further reduces the number of unimplemented MSRs hit by a Linux guest

Initialize CPUID.80000008H:ECX[7:0] with the number of logical processors in
the package. This fixes a panic during early boot in NetBSD 7.0 BETA.
Clear the Topology Extension feature bit from CPUID.80000001H:ECX since we
don't emulate leaves 0x8000001D and 0x8000001E. This fixes a divide by zero
panic in early boot in Centos 6.4.

tunables to modify the default cpu topology advertised by bhyve.
Also add a tunable "hw.vmm.topology.cpuid_leaf_b" to disable the CPUID
leaf 0xb. This is intended for testing guest behavior when it falls back
on using CPUID leaf 0x4 to deduce CPU topology.
The default behavior is to advertise each vcpu as a core in a separate soket.
the vcpu had no caches at all. This causes problems when executing applications
in the guest compiled with the Intel compiler.

- use the new virtual APIC page
- update to current bhyve APIs
Tested by Anish with multiple FreeBSD SMP VMs on a Phenom,
and verified by myself with light FreeBSD VM testing
on a Sempron 3850 APU.
The issues reported with Linux guests are very likely to still
be here, but this sync eliminates the skew between the
project branch and CURRENT, and should help to determine
the causes.
Some follow-on commits will fix minor cosmetic issues.

guest for which the rules regarding xsetbv emulation are known. In
particular future extensions like AVX-512 have interdependencies among
feature bits that could allow a guest to trigger a GP# in the host with
the current approach of allowing anything the host supports.
- Add proper checking of Intel MPX and AVX-512 XSAVE features in the
xsetbv emulation and allow these features to be exposed to the guest if
they are enabled in the host.
- Expose a subset of known-safe features from leaf 0 of the structured
extended features to guests if they are supported on the host including
RDFSBASE/RDGSBASE, BMI1/2, AVX2, AVX-512, HLE, ERMS, and RTM. Aside
from AVX-512, these features are all new instructions available for use
in ring 3 with no additional hypervisor changes needed.

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.

XSAVE-enabled features like AVX.
- Store a per-cpu guest xcr0 register. When switching to the guest FPU
state, switch to the guest xcr0 value. Note that the guest FPU state is
saved and restored using the host's xcr0 value and xcr0 is saved/restored
"inside" of saving/restoring the guest FPU state.
- Handle VM exits for the xsetbv instruction by updating the guest xcr0.
- Expose the XSAVE feature to the guest only if the host has enabled XSAVE,
and only advertise XSAVE features enabled by the host to the guest.
This ensures that the guest will only adjust FPU state that is a subset
of the guest FPU state saved and restored by the host.

'invpcid' instruction to the guest. Currently bhyve will try to enable this
capability unconditionally if it is available.
Consolidate code in bhyve to set the capabilities so it is no longer
duplicated in BSP and AP bringup.
Add a sysctl 'vm.pmap.invpcid_works' to display whether the 'invpcid'
instruction is available.

Hide some additional capabilities from the guest (e.g. debug store).
This fixes the issue with FreeBSD 9.1 MP guests exiting the VM on
AP spinup (where CPUID is used when sync'ing the TSCs) and the
issue with the Java build where CPUIDs are issued from a guest
userspace.

- Don't always pass the cpuid request to the current CPU as some nodes
we will emulate purely in software.
- Pass in the APIC ID of the virtual CPU so we can return the proper APIC
ID.
- Always report a completely flat topology with no SMT or multicore.
- Report the CPUID2_HV feature and implement support for the 0x40000000
CPUID level.
- Use existing constants from <machine/specialreg.h> when possible and
use cpu_feature2 when checking for VMX support.

- Rather than exiting on accesses to unhandled i/o ports, emulate
hardware by returning -1 on reads and ignoring writes to unhandled
ports. Support the previous mode by allowing a 'strict' parameter
to be set from the command line.
The 8.1 guest kernel was vastly cut down from GENERIC and had no
ISA devices. Booting GENERIC exposes a massive amount of random
touching of i/o ports (hello syscons/vga/atkbdc).

dev/bvm/bvm_console.c
- implement a simplistic signature for the bvm console by returning
'bv' for an inw on the port. Also, set the priority of the console
to CN_REMOTE if the signature was returned. This works better in
an environment where multiple consoles are in the kernel (hello syscons)
bhyve/rtc.c
- return 0 for the access to RTC_EQUIPMENT (yes, you syscons)
amd64/vmm/x86.c
x86.h
- hide a bunch more CPUID leaf 1 bits from the guest to prevent
cpufreq drivers from probing.
The next step will be to move CPUID handling completely into
user-space. This will allow the full spectrum of changes from
presenting a lowest-common-denominator CPU type/feature set, to
exposing (almost) everything that the host can support.
