Subject: [PATCH v2 0/5] KVM: X86: Add virtual C-states residency msrs support

After exposing some host CPU power management capabilities to dedicated 
instances, there is a requirement to consult current idle power-state 
residency statistics by turbostat.

This patchset adds virtual C-states residency msrs emulation. Allowing 
guest reads CORE cstate when exposing host CPU power management capabilities 
to the guest. PKG cstate is restricted currently to avoid a guest to get 
the whole package information in multi-tenant scenario.

v1 -> v2:
 * add residency msrs emulation (base on Paolo's design)

Wanpeng Li (5):
  KVM: X86: Dynamic allocate core residency msr state
  KVM: X86: Introduce residency msrs read/write operations
  KVM: X86: setup residency msrs during vCPU creation
  KVM: VMX: Add get/set residency msrs logic
  KVM: X86: Save/restore residency values when sched_out/sched_in
