This patch fixes virtual machine single stepping on VMX hosts.
Currently, when using bhyve's gdb stub, each attempt at single-stepping
a vCPU lands in a timer interrupt. The current single-stepping mechanism
uses the Monitor Trap Flag feature to cause VMEXIT after a single
instruction is executed. Unfortunately, the SDM states that MTF causes
VMEXITs for the next instruction that gets executed, which is often not
what the person using the debugger expects. [1]
This patch adds a new VM capability that masks interrupts on a vCPU by
blocking interrupt injection and modifies the gdb stub to use the newly
added capability while single-stepping a vCPU.
