[v2,0/9] KVM: x86: Clean up MSR_IA32_APICBASE_BASE code

Message

Clean up code related to setting and getting MSR_IA32_APICBASE_BASE.

E.g. it's absurdly difficult to tease out that kvm_set_apic_base() exists
purely to avoid an extra call to kvm_recalculate_apic_map() (which may or
may not be worth the code, but whatever).

Simiarly, it's quite difficult to see that kvm_lapic_set_base() doesn't
do anything useful if the incoming MSR value is the same as the current
value.

v2:
 - Collect reviews. [Kai, Paolo]
 - Add a comment in kvm_lapic_reset() to explain its usage of the inner
   __kvm_apic_set_base() helper. [Paolo]
 - Unpack "struct msr_data" before calling kvm_apic_set_base(), e.g. so
   that __set_sregs_common() doesn't half-fill a structure and rely on
   kvm_apic_set_base() to ignore "index". [Kai]
 - Tack on a patch to short circuit all of kvm_apic_set_base() when the
   MSR isn't changing, to avoid the rare slow path of triggering an APIC
   map recalc due to some other task marking the map dirty.

Sean Christopherson (9):
  KVM: x86: Short-circuit all kvm_lapic_set_base() if MSR value isn't
    changing
  KVM: x86: Drop superfluous kvm_lapic_set_base() call when setting APIC
    state
  KVM: x86: Get vcpu->arch.apic_base directly and drop
    kvm_get_apic_base()
  KVM: x86: Inline kvm_get_apic_mode() in lapic.h
  KVM: x86: Move kvm_set_apic_base() implementation to lapic.c (from
    x86.c)
  KVM: x86: Rename APIC base setters to better capture their
    relationship
  KVM: x86: Make kvm_recalculate_apic_map() local to lapic.c
  KVM: x86: Unpack msr_data structure prior to calling
    kvm_apic_set_base()
  KVM: x86: Short-circuit all of kvm_apic_set_base() if MSR value is
    unchanged
