Thanks to the former patches, it is now possible to keep the APICv
memslot always enabled, and it will be invisible to the guest
when it is inhibited
This code is based on a suggestion from Sean Christopherson:

Now that .post_leave_smm() is gone, drop "pre_" from the remaining
helpers. The helpers aren't invoked purely before SMI/RSM processing,
e.g. both helpers are invoked after state is snapshotted (from regs or
SMRAM), and the RSM helper is invoked after some amount of register state
has been stuffed.

Currently vmx_vcpu_load_vmcs() writes the TSC_MULTIPLIER field of the
VMCS every time the VMCS is loaded. Instead of doing this, set this
field from common code on initialization and whenever the scaling ratio
changes.
Additionally remove vmx->current_tsc_ratio. This field is redundant as
vcpu->arch.tsc_scaling_ratio already tracks the current TSC scaling
ratio. The vmx->current_tsc_ratio field is only used for avoiding
unnecessary writes but it is no longer needed after removing the code
from the VMCS load path.

The write_l1_tsc_offset() callback has a misleading name. It does not
set L1's TSC offset, it rather updates the current TSC offset which
might be different if a nested guest is executing. Additionally, both
the vmx and svm implementations use the same logic for calculating the
current TSC before writing it to hardware.
Rename the function and move the common logic to the caller. The vmx/svm
specific code now merely sets the given offset to the corresponding
hardware structure.

In order to implement as much of the nested TSC scaling logic as
possible in common code, we need these vendor callbacks for retrieving
the TSC offset and the TSC multiplier that L1 has set for L2.

Add a start_assignment hook to kvm_x86_ops, which is called when
kvm_arch_start_assignment is done.
The hook is required to update the wakeup vector of a sleeping vCPU
when a device is assigned to the guest.

Currently, if enable_pml=1 PML remains enabled for the entire lifetime
of the VM irrespective of whether dirty logging is enable or disabled.
When dirty logging is disabled, all the pages of the VM are manually
marked dirty, so that PML is effectively non-operational. Setting
the dirty bits is an expensive operation which can cause severe MMU
lock contention in a performance sensitive path when dirty logging is
disabled after a failed or canceled live migration.
Manually setting dirty bits also fails to prevent PML activity if some
code path clears dirty bits, which can incur unnecessary VM-Exits.
In order to avoid this extra overhead, dynamically enable/disable PML
when dirty logging gets turned on/off for the first/last memslot.

Drop the facade of KVM's PML logic being vendor specific and move the
bits that aren't truly VMX specific into common x86 code. The MMU logic
for dealing with PML is tightly coupled to the feature and to VMX's
implementation, bouncing through kvm_x86_ops obfuscates the code without
providing any meaningful separation of concerns or encapsulation.
No functional change intended.

Store the vendor-specific dirty log size in a variable, there's no need
to wrap it in a function since the value is constant after
hardware_setup() runs.

Use static calls to improve kvm_x86_ops performance. Introduce the
definitions that will be used by a subsequent patch to actualize the
savings. Add a new kvm-x86-ops.h header that can be used for the
definition of static calls. This header is also intended to be
used to simplify the defition of svm_kvm_ops and vmx_x86_ops.
Note that all functions in kvm_x86_ops are covered here except for
'pmu_ops' and 'nested ops'. I think they can be covered by static
calls in a simlilar manner, but were omitted from this series to
reduce scope and because I don't think they have as large of a
performance impact.
