KVM: x86: hyper-v: Add extended hypercall support in Hyper-v

Browse source

Add support for extended hypercall in Hyper-v. Hyper-v TLFS 6.0b
describes hypercalls above call code 0x8000 as extended hypercalls.

A Hyper-v hypervisor's guest VM finds availability of extended
hypercalls via CPUID.0x40000003.EBX BIT(20). If the bit is set then the
guest can call extended hypercalls.

All extended hypercalls will exit to userspace by default. This allows
for easy support of future hypercalls without being dependent on KVM
releases.

If there will be need to process the hypercall in KVM instead of
userspace then KVM can create a capability which userspace can query to
know which hypercalls can be handled by the KVM and enable handling
of those hypercalls.
