[PATCH v6 2/4] KVM: X86: Add Paravirt TLB Shootdown

[Wanpeng Li]

From: Wanpeng Li <wanpeng.li@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Remote flushing api's does a busy wait which is fine in bare-metal
scenario. But with-in the guest, the vcpus might have been pre-empted
or blocked. In this scenario, the initator vcpu would end up
busy-waiting for a long amount of time.

This patch set implements para-virt flush tlbs making sure that it
does not wait for vcpus that are sleeping. And all the sleeping vcpus
flush the tlb on guest enter.

The best result is achieved when we're overcommiting the host by running 
multiple vCPUs on each pCPU. In this case PV tlb flush avoids touching 
vCPUs which are not scheduled and avoid the wait on the main CPU.

Testing on a Xeon Gold 6142 2.6GHz 2 sockets, 32 cores, 64 threads,
so 64 pCPUs, and each VM is 64 vCPUs.
