Subject: [PATCH] x86/kvm: Fix guest haltpoll after the guest suspend/resume

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

All AP cpus hot-unplugged during guest suspend and hot-plugged during
guest resume, qemu makes host haltpoll as default during vCPU reset,
it resets all the haltpoll to host haltpoll by KVM_SET_MSRS ioctl. All
AP cpus switch to guest haltpoll again by haltpoll driver hotplug
callbacks in the guest. However, BSP is not hotpluggable and keeps host 
haltpoll which means that the BSP switches from guest haltpoll to host 
haltpoll during the guest suspend and resume, this will have vmexit cost
each time the guest enters idle. This patch fixes it by recording BSP's 
haltpoll state and resuming it during guest resume.
