[PATCH 27/45] KVM: x86: Optimize NMI watchdog delivery

[Avi Kivity]

From: Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@xxxxxxxxxxx>

As suggested by Avi, this patch introduces a counter of VCPUs that have
LVT0 set to NMI mode. Only if the counter > 0, we push the PIT ticks via
all LAPIC LVT0 lines to enable NMI watchdog support.
