Subject: [PATCH v7 2/2] KVM: LAPIC: Inject timer interrupt via posted interrupt

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

Dedicated instances are currently disturbed by unnecessary jitter due 
to the emulated lapic timers fire on the same pCPUs which vCPUs resident.
There is no hardware virtual timer on Intel for guest like ARM. Both 
programming timer in guest and the emulated timer fires incur vmexits.
This patch tries to avoid vmexit which is incurred by the emulated 
timer fires in dedicated instance scenario. 

When nohz_full is enabled in dedicated instances scenario, the emulated 
timers can be offload to the nearest busy housekeeping cpus since APICv 
is really common in recent years. The guest timer interrupt is injected 
by posted-interrupt which is delivered by housekeeping cpu once the emulated 
timer fires. 

The host admin should fine tuned, e.g. dedicated instances scenario w/ 
nohz_full cover the pCPUs which vCPUs resident, several pCPUs surplus 
for busy housekeeping, disable mwait/hlt/pause vmexits to keep in non-root  
mode, ~3% redis performance benefit can be observed on Skylake server.
