[PATCH v4 RESEND 4/6] KVM: X86: Implement PV IPIs send hypercall

[Wanpeng Li]

From: Wanpeng Li <wanpengli@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Using hypercall to send IPIs by one vmexit instead of one by one for
xAPIC/x2APIC physical mode and one vmexit per-cluster for x2APIC cluster 
mode. Intel guest can enter x2apic cluster mode when interrupt remmaping 
is enabled in qemu, however, latest AMD EPYC still just supports xapic 
mode which can get great improvement by Exit-less IPIs. This patchset 
lets a guest which sends multicast IPIs at most can handle 128 vCPUs per 
hypercall on 64-bit machines and 64 vCPUs per hypercall on 32-bit machines.

Hardware: Xeon Skylake 2.5GHz, 2 sockets, 40 cores, 80 threads, the VM 
is 80 vCPUs, IPI microbenchmark(https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/12/19/141):
