KVM: X86: Implement "send IPI" hypercall
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 Exit-less IPIs. This patchset
lets a guest send multicast IPIs, with at most 128 destinations per
hypercall in 64-bit mode and 64 vCPUs per hypercall in 32-bit mode.
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):
