Subject: [PATCH v2 0/2] KVM: x86: Add PV IPIs support

Using hypercall to send IPIs by one vmexit instead of one by one for
xAPIC/x2APIC physical mode and one vmexit per-cluster for x2APIC cluster 
mode. 

Even if enable qemu interrupt remapping and PV TLB Shootdown, I can still 
observe ~14% performance boost by ebizzy benchmark for 64 vCPUs VM, the 
total msr-induced vmexits reduce ~70%.

The patchset implements the PV IPIs for vCPUs <= 128 VM, this is really 
common in cloud environment, after this patchset is applied, I can continue 
to add > 64 vCPUs VM support and that implementation has to introduce more 
complex logic.

v1 -> v2:
 * sparse apic id > 128, or any other errors, fallback to original apic hooks
 * have two bitmask arguments so that one hypercall handles 128 vCPUs 
 * fix KVM_FEATURE_PV_SEND_IPI doc
 * document hypercall
 * fix NMI selftest fails
 * fix build errors reported by 0day
