Subject: [PATCH 0/5] KVM: nVMX: Enlightened VMCS for Hyper-V on KVM

This is an initial implementation of Enlightened VMCS for nested Hyper-V on
KVM. Using it helps to spare 1500 cpu cycles for nested vmexit (tight cpuid
loop in WS2016 with Hyper-V role on KVM: 15200 cycles -> 13700 cycles).

Changes since RFCv2:
- Rename sync_shadow_vmcs to need_vmcs12_sync and reuse for eVMCS case
  [Paolo Bonzini]

Ladi Prosek (1):
  KVM: hyperv: define VP assist page helpers

Vitaly Kuznetsov (4):
  KVM: nVMX: add KVM_CAP_HYPERV_ENLIGHTENED_VMCS capability
  KVM: nVMX: add enlightened VMCS state
  KVM: nVMX: implement enlightened VMPTRLD and VMCLEAR
  KVM: nVMX: optimize prepare_vmcs02{,_full} for Enlightened VMCS case
