Subject: [PATCH v3 4/6] KVM: X86: Implement PV IPIs send hypercall

From: Wanpeng Li <wanpengli@...cent.com>

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 PV IPIs.  

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):
