Also, make the uart backend file descriptor non-blocking to avoid a

However, if the original knote had been disabled then it is not automatically
re-enabled.
Fix this by using EV_ADD to create an mevent and EV_ENABLE to enable it.
Adding a kevent for the first time implicitly enables it so existing callers
of mevent_add() don't need to change.

the 'HLT' instruction. This condition was detected by 'vm_handle_hlt()' and
converted into the SPINDOWN_CPU exitcode . The bhyve(8) process would exit
the vcpu thread in response to a SPINDOWN_CPU and when the last vcpu was
spun down it would reset the virtual machine via vm_suspend(VM_SUSPEND_RESET).
This functionality was broken in r263780 in a way that made it impossible
to kill the bhyve(8) process because it would loop forever in
vm_handle_suspend().
Unbreak this by removing the code to spindown vcpus. Thus a 'halt' from
a Linux guest will appear to be hung but this is consistent with the
behavior on bare metal. The guest can be rebooted by using the bhyvectl
options '--force-reset' or '--force-poweroff'.

from any context i.e., it is not required to be called from a vcpu thread. The
ioctl simply sets a state variable 'vm->suspend' to '1' and returns.
The vcpus inspect 'vm->suspend' in the run loop and if it is set to '1' the
vcpu breaks out of the loop with a reason of 'VM_EXITCODE_SUSPENDED'. The
suspend handler waits until all 'vm->active_cpus' have transitioned to
'vm->suspended_cpus' before returning to userspace.

processor-specific VMCS or VMCB. The pending exception will be delivered right
before entering the guest.
The order of event injection into the guest is:
- hardware exception
- NMI
- maskable interrupt
In the Intel VT-x case, a pending NMI or interrupt will enable the interrupt
window-exiting and inject it as soon as possible after the hardware exception
is injected. Also since interrupts are inherently asynchronous, injecting
them after the hardware exception should not affect correctness from the
guest perspective.
Rename the unused ioctl VM_INJECT_EVENT to VM_INJECT_EXCEPTION and restrict
it to only deliver x86 hardware exceptions. This new ioctl is now used to
inject a protection fault when the guest accesses an unimplemented MSR.

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.

This is done by representing each bus as root PCI device in ACPI. The device
implements the _BBN method to return the PCI bus number to the guest OS.
Each PCI bus keeps track of the resources that is decodes for devices
configured on the bus: i/o, mmio (32-bit) and mmio (64-bit). These windows
are advertised to the guest via the _CRS object of the root device.
Bus 0 is treated specially since it consumes the I/O ports to access the
PCI config space [0xcf8-0xcff]. It also decodes the legacy I/O ports that
are consumed by devices on the LPC bus. For this reason the LPC bridge can
be configured only on bus 0.
The bus number can be specified using the following command line option
to bhyve(8): "-s <bus>:<slot>:<func>,<emul>[,<config>]"

- Populate the MP Table with I/O interrupt entries for any PCI INTx

- Create a _PRT table under the PCI root bridge in ACPI to route any
PCI INTx interrupts appropriately.
- Track which INTx interrupts are in use per-slot so that functions
that share a slot attempt to distribute their INTx interrupts across
the four available pins.
- Implicitly mask INTx interrupts if either MSI or MSI-X is enabled
and when the INTx DIS bit is set in a function's PCI command register.
