KVM implements some Hyper-V 2016 functions so providing WS2008R2 version
is somewhat incorrect. While generally guests shouldn't care about it
and always check feature bits, it is known that some tools in Windows
actually check version info.
For compatibility reasons make the change for 6.2 machine types only.

Currently, we hardcode Hyper-V version id (CPUID 0x40000002) to
WS2008R2 and it is known that certain tools in Windows check this. It
seems useful to provide some flexibility by making it possible to change
this info at will. CPUID information is defined in TLFS as:
EAX: Build Number
EBX Bits 31-16: Major Version
Bits 15-0: Minor Version
ECX Service Pack
EDX Bits 31-24: Service Branch
Bits 23-0: Service Number

The enlightenment allows to use Hyper-V SynIC with hardware APICv/AVIC
enabled. Normally, Hyper-V SynIC disables these hardware features and
suggests the guest to use paravirtualized AutoEOI feature. Linux-4.15
gains support for conditional APICv/AVIC disablement, the feature
stays on until the guest tries to use AutoEOI feature with SynIC. With
'HV_DEPRECATING_AEOI_RECOMMENDED' bit exposed, modern enough Windows/
Hyper-V versions should follow the recommendation and not use the
(unwanted) feature.

By default, KVM allows the guest to use all currently supported Hyper-V
enlightenments when Hyper-V CPUID interface was exposed, regardless of if
some features were not announced in guest visible CPUIDs. hv-enforce-cpuid
feature alters this behavior and only allows the guest to use exposed
Hyper-V enlightenments. The feature is supported by Linux >= 5.14 and is
not enabled by default in QEMU.

Currently, the only eVMCS version, supported by KVM (and described in TLFS)
is '1'. When Enlightened VMCS feature is enabled, QEMU takes the supported
eVMCS version range (from KVM_CAP_HYPERV_ENLIGHTENED_VMCS enablement) and
puts it to guest visible CPUIDs. When (and if) eVMCS ver.2 appears a
problem on migration is expected: it doesn't seem to be possible to migrate
from a host supporting eVMCS ver.2 to a host, which only support eVMCS
ver.1.
Hardcode eVMCS ver.1 as the result of 'hv-evmcs' enablement for now. Newer
eVMCS versions will have to have their own enablement options (e.g.
'hv-evmcs=2').

KVM doesn't fully support Hyper-V reenlightenment notifications on
migration. In particular, it doesn't support emulating TSC frequency
of the source host by trapping all TSC accesses so unless TSC scaling
is supported on the destination host and KVM_SET_TSC_KHZ succeeds, it
is unsafe to proceed with migration.
KVM_SET_TSC_KHZ is called from two sites: kvm_arch_init_vcpu() and
kvm_arch_put_registers(). The later (intentionally) doesn't propagate
errors allowing migrations to succeed even when TSC scaling is not
supported on the destination. This doesn't suit 're-enlightenment'
use-case as we have to guarantee that TSC frequency stays constant.
Require 'tsc-frequency=' command line option to be specified for successful
migration when re-enlightenment was enabled by the guest.

Hyper-V TLFS prior to version 6.0 had a mistake in it: special value
'0xffffffff' for CPUID 0x40000004.EBX was called 'never to retry', this
looked weird (like why it's not '0' which supposedly have the same effect?)
but nobody raised the question. In TLFS version 6.0 the mistake was
corrected to 'never notify' which sounds logical. Fix QEMU accordingly.

Hyper-V TLFS specifies this enlightenment as:
"NoNonArchitecturalCoreSharing - Indicates that a virtual processor will never
share a physical core with another virtual processor, except for virtual
processors that are reported as sibling SMT threads. This can be used as an
optimization to avoid the performance overhead of STIBP".
However, STIBP is not the only implication. It was found that Hyper-V on
KVM doesn't pass MD_CLEAR bit to its guests if it doesn't see
NoNonArchitecturalCoreSharing bit.
KVM reports NoNonArchitecturalCoreSharing in KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_HV_CPUID to
indicate that SMT on the host is impossible (not supported of forcefully
disabled).
Implement NoNonArchitecturalCoreSharing support in QEMU as tristate:
'off' - the feature is disabled (default)
'on' - the feature is enabled. This is only safe if vCPUS are properly
pinned and correct topology is exposed. As CPU pinning is done outside
of QEMU the enablement decision will be made on a higher level.
'auto' - copy KVM setting. As during live migration SMT settings on the
source and destination host may differ this requires us to add a migration
blocker.

In many case we just want to give Windows guests all currently supported
Hyper-V enlightenments and that's where this new mode may come handy. We
pass through what was returned by KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_HV_CPUID.
hv_cpuid_check_and_set() is modified to also set cpu->hyperv_* flags as
we may want to check them later (and we actually do for hv_runtime,
hv_synic,...).
'hv-passthrough' is a development only feature, a migration blocker is
added to prevent issues while migrating between hosts with different
feature sets.
