This reduces variability during timer calibration by keeping the emulation
"close" to the guest. Additionally having all timer emulations in the kernel
will ease the transition to a per-VM clock source (as opposed to using the

The mixed little/big-endianness of SMBIOS UUIDs was clarified in v2.6
of the SMBIOS spec. dmidecode uses the reported version of SMBIOS to
determine the layout and what to byte-swap.
bhyve's SMBIOS reported as 2.4 though it implemented the 2.6-style of
memory layout. This resulted in dmidecode reporting a different
UUID than one passed in via the -U option.
Fix by exporting a version of 2.6.

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).

The faulting instruction needs to be restarted when the exception handler
is done handling the fault. bhyve now does this correctly by setting
'vmexit[vcpu].inst_length' to zero so the %rip is not advanced.
A minor complication is that the fault injection APIs are used by instruction
emulation code that is shared by vmm.ko and bhyve. Thus the argument that
refers to 'struct vm *' in kernel or 'struct vmctx *' in userspace needs to
be loosely typed as a 'void *'.
A nested exception condition arises when a second exception is triggered while
delivering the first exception. Most nested exceptions can be handled serially
but some are converted into a double fault. If an exception is generated during
delivery of a double fault then the virtual machine shuts down as a result of
a triple fault.
vm_exit_intinfo() is used to record that a VM-exit happened while an event was
being delivered through the IDT. If an exception is triggered while handling
the VM-exit it will be treated like a nested exception.
vm_entry_intinfo() is used by processor-specific code to get the event to be
injected into the guest on the next VM-entry. This function is responsible for
deciding the disposition of nested exceptions.

Previously the sizes were inferred indirectly based on the size of the mappings
at 0 and 4GB respectively. This works fine as long as size of the allocation is
identical to the size of the mapping in the guest's address space. However, if
the mapping is disjoint then this assumption falls apart (e.g., due to the
legacy BIOS hole between 640KB and 1MB).
