[PATCH RFC 04/14] xen: vmx: Introduce SPP-Induced vm exit and it's handle.

[Zhang Yi <yi.z.zhang@linux.intel.com>]

From: Zhang Yi Z <yi.z.zhang@linux.intel.com>

Accesses using guest-physical addresses may cause SPP-induced VM exits
due to an SPPT misconfiguration or an
SPPT miss. The basic VM exit reason code reported for SPP-induced VM
exits is 66.

An SPPT misconfiguration VM exit occurs when, in the course of
translating a guest-physical address, the logical processor encounters
a leaf EPT paging-structure entry mapping a 4KB page for which the
sub-page write permission control bit is set and during the SPPT lookup
an SPPT paging-structure entry contains an unsupported value.

An SPPT miss VM exit occurs when, in the course of translation a
guest-physical address, the logical processor encounters a leaf
EPT paging-structure entry for which the sub-page write permission
control bit is set and during the SPPT lookup there is no SPPT
misconfiguration but any level of SPPT paging-structure entries
are not-present.

Also Introduced the new exit qualification for SPPT-induced vmexits.

| Bit   | Contents                                                          |
| :---- | :---------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 10:0  | Reserved (0).                                                     |
| 11    | SPPT VM exit type. Set for SPPT Miss, cleared for SPPT Misconfig. |
| 12    | NMI unblocking due to IRET                                        |
| 63:13 | Reserved (0)                                                      |
