[PATCH v5 00/18] kvm: x86: Support AMD SVM AVIC w/ in-kernel irqchip mode

The 'commit 67034bb9dd5e ("KVM: SVM: Add irqchip_split() checks before
enabling AVIC")' was introduced to fix miscellaneous boot-hang issues
when enable AVIC. This is mainly due to AVIC hardware doest not #vmexit
on write to LAPIC EOI register resulting in-kernel PIC and IOAPIC to
wait and do not inject new interrupts (e.g. PIT, RTC).

This limits AVIC to only work with kernel_irqchip=split mode, which is
not currently enabled by default, and also required user-space to
support split irqchip model, which might not be the case.

The goal of this series is to enable AVIC to work in both irqchip modes,
by allowing AVIC to be deactivated temporarily during runtime, and fallback
to legacy interrupt injection mode (w/ vINTR and interrupt windows)
when needed, and then re-enabled subsequently (a.k.a Dynamic APICv).

Similar approach is also used to handle Hyper-V SynIC in the
'commit 5c919412fe61 ("kvm/x86: Hyper-V synthetic interrupt controller")',
where APICv is permanently disabled at runtime (currently broken for
AVIC, and fixed by this series).

This series contains several parts:
* Part 1: patch 1,2
Code clean up, refactor, and introduce helper functions

* Part 2: patch 3
Introduce APICv deactivate bits to keep track of APICv state
for each vm.

* Part 3: patch 4-10
Add support for activate/deactivate APICv at runtime

* Part 4: patch 11-14:
Add support for various cases where APICv needs to
be deactivated

* Part 5: patch 15-17:
Introduce in-kernel IOAPIC workaround for AVIC EOI

* Part 6: path 18
Allow enable AVIC w/ kernel_irqchip=on

Pre-requisite Patch:
* commit b9c6ff94e43a ("iommu/amd: Re-factor guest virtual APIC (de-)activation code")
(https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/joro/iommu.git/commit/
?h=next&id=b9c6ff94e43a0ee053e0c1d983fba1ac4953b762)

This series has been tested against v5.3 as following:
* Booting Linux, FreeBSD, and Windows Server 2019 VMs upto 240 vcpus
w/ qemu option "kernel-irqchip=on" and "-no-hpet".
* Pass-through Intel 10GbE NIC and run netperf in the VM.

Changes from V4: (https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/11/1/764)
* Rename APICV_DEACT_BIT_xxx to APICV_INHIBIT_REASON_xxxx
* Introduce kvm_x86_ops.check_apicv_inhibit_reasons hook
to allow vendors to specify which APICv inhibit reason bits
to support (patch 08/18).
* Update comment on kvm_request_apicv_update() no-lock requirement.
(patch 04/18)
