kvm: Initial x86 support
This changeset adds support for KVM on x86. Full support is split
across a number of commits since some features are relatively
complex. This changeset includes support for:
* Integer state synchronization (including segment regs)
* CPUID (gem5's CPUID values are inserted into KVM)
* x86 legacy IO (remapped and handled by gem5's memory system)
* Memory mapped IO
* PCI
* MSRs
* State dumping
Most of the functionality is fairly straight forward. There are some
quirks to support PCI enumerations since this is done in the TLB(!) in
the simulated CPUs. We currently replicate some of that code.
Unlike the ARM implementation, the x86 implementation of the virtual
CPU does not use the cycles hardware counter. KVM on x86 simulates the
time stamp counter (TSC) in the kernel. If we just measure host cycles
using perfevent, we might end up measuring a slightly different number
of cycles. If we don't get the cycle accounting right, we might end up
rewinding the TSC, with all kinds of chaos as a result.
An additional feature of the KVM CPU on x86 is extended state
dumping. This enables Python scripts controlling the simulator to
request dumping of a subset of the processor state. The following
methods are currenlty supported:
* dumpFpuRegs
* dumpIntRegs
* dumpSpecRegs
* dumpDebugRegs
* dumpXCRs
* dumpXSave
* dumpVCpuEvents
* dumpMSRs
Known limitations:
* M5 ops are currently not supported.
* FPU synchronization is not supported (only affects CPU switching).
Both of the limitations will be addressed in separate commits.
