Changes since v1:
- Simplify PATCH4 by not using evmcs_get_supported_ctls() and doing more
  macro magic to avoid having two evmcs_check_vmcs_conf{u32, u64} variants
  [Sean]

This is a continuation of "KVM: VMX: Support updated eVMCSv1 revision + use
vmcs_config for L1 VMX MSRs" work:
https://lore.kernel.org/kvm/20220830133737.1539624-1-vkuznets@redhat.com/

and a preparation to enabling new eVMCS features for Hyper-V on KVM, namely
nested TSC scaling.

Future proof KVM against two scenarios:
- nVMX: A new feature which doesn't have a corresponding eVMCSv1 field gets
 implemented in KVM but EVMCS1_UNSUPPORTED_* defines are left unchanged.
- VMX: A new feature supported by KVM but currently missing in eVMCSv1 gets
 implemented in a future Hyper-V version breaking KVM.

Note: 'vmx/evmcs.{c,h}' are renamed to 'vmx/hyperv.{c,h}' in
https://lore.kernel.org/kvm/20221004123956.188909-7-vkuznets@redhat.com/

Vitaly Kuznetsov (4):
  KVM: nVMX: Sanitize primary processor-based VM-execution controls with
    eVMCS too
  KVM: nVMX: Invert 'unsupported by eVMCSv1' check
  KVM: nVMX: Prepare to sanitize tertiary execution controls with eVMCS
  KVM: VMX: Resurrect vmcs_conf sanitization for KVM-on-Hyper-V
