Subject: [PATCH v3 0/6] KVM: X86: Implement 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. Intel guest can enter x2apic cluster mode when interrupt remmaping 
is enabled in qemu, however, latest AMD EPYC still just supports xapic 
mode which can get great improvement by PV IPIs. This patchset supports 
PV IPIs for maximal 128 vCPUs VM, it is big enough for cloud environment 
currently, supporting more vCPUs needs to introduce more complex logic, 
in the future this might be extended if needed.

Hardware: Xeon Skylake 2.5GHz, 2 sockets, 40 cores, 80 threads, the VM 
is 80 vCPUs, IPI microbenchmark(https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/12/19/141):

v2 -> v3:
 * rename ipi_mask_done to irq_restore_exit, __send_ipi_mask return int 
   instead of bool 
 * fix build errors reported by 0day
 * split patches, nothing change 

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
