The struct hv_vp_assist_page has 24 bytes which is defined as u64[3],
expand that to expose vtl_entry_reason, vtl_ret_x64rax and vtl_ret_x64rcx
field. vtl_entry_reason is updated by hypervisor for the entry reason as
to why the VTL was entered on the virtual processor.
Guest updates the vtl_ret_* fields to provide the register values to
restore on VTL return. The specific register values that are restored
which will be updated on vtl_ret_x64rax and vtl_ret_x64rcx.
Also added the missing fields for synthetic_time_unhalted_timer_expired,
virtualization_fault_information and intercept_message.

This is defined as an enum in the TLFS [1]. We should do the same.
And since the TLFS defines it as an enum it is a 32 bit value and
not a u8.

The TLFS groups the above VTL related fields into a struct
HV_VP_VTL_CONTROL. Any reason to not do the same?

I think we can do that. Let me check this and update on v2.

No particular reason, but this change is simple and sufficient.
We can expand in future as the need arises.

In the *tlfs.h files we have avoided defining fields with type "enum"
because of the potential for variability in number of bytes it occupies.
The TLFS documentation assumes an enum is 4 bytes, so in these
structure definitions we use a __u32 type to be explicit about the size.
We do have enum types defined in the *tlfs.h files, but these are just
lists of related constant values, and that's OK.
