2019-06-21i386/kvm: add support for Direct Mode for Hyper-V synthetic timersVitaly Kuznetsov1-0/+10
Hyper-V on KVM can only use Synthetic timers with Direct Mode (opting for an interrupt instead of VMBus message). This new capability is only announced in KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_HV_CPUID.

2019-06-21i386/kvm: implement 'hv-passthrough' modeVitaly Kuznetsov1-0/+10
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.

2019-06-21i386/kvm: document existing Hyper-V enlightenmentsVitaly Kuznetsov1-0/+181
Currently, there is no doc describing hv-* CPU flags, people are encouraged to get the information from Microsoft Hyper-V Top Level Functional specification (TLFS). There is, however, a bit of QEMU specifics.
