75369cb181 Add a new capability, VM_CAP_ENABLE_INVPCID, that can be enabled to expose
'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.

01173b0b4a The "unrestricted guest" capability is a feature of Intel VT-x that allows
the guest to execute real or unpaged protected mode code - bhyve relies on
this feature to execute the AP bootstrap code.

Get rid of the hack that allowed bhyve to support SMP guests on processors
that do not have the "unrestricted guest" capability. This hack was entirely
FreeBSD-specific and would not work with any other guest OS.

Instead, limit the number of vcpus to 1 when executing on processors without
"unrestricted guest" capability.

70b50f1646 Rename fbsdrun.* -> bhyverun.*
bhyve is intended to be a generic hypervisor, and not FreeBSD-specific.

(renaming internal routines will come later)

5dbc1ca26a Add an option "-a" to present the local apic in the XAPIC mode instead of the
default X2APIC mode to the guest.

c34be7b811 Add an explicit exit code 'SPINUP_AP' to tell the controlling process that an
AP needs to be activated by spinning up an execution context for it.

The local apic emulation is now completely done in the hypervisor and it will
detect writes to the ICR_LO register that try to bring up the AP. In response
to such writes it will return to userspace with an exit code of SPINUP_AP.
