Add new KVM capability "KVM_CAP_FORWARD_HYPERCALL" for user space to
probe whether KVM supports forwarding hypercall.

The capability should be enabled by user space explicitly, for we
don't want user space application to deal with unexpected hypercall
exits. We also use an additional argument to pass exception bit mask,
to request KVM to forward all hypercalls except the classes specified
in the bit mask.

Currently only PSCI can be set as exception, so that we can still keep
consistent with the old PSCI processing flow.

I agree this needs to be default-on, but I don't think this exclusion mechanism is extensible.

and if there are more than 64 things to exclude?

Once we have a 65th bit, older kernels will let user-space set it, but nothing happens.

While 4*64 'named bits' for SMC/HVC ranges might be enough, it is tricky to work with.
Both the kernel and user-space have to maintain a list of bit->name and
name->call-number-range, which may change over time.

A case in point: According to PSCI's History (Section 7 of DEN022D), PSCIv1.1 added
SYSTEM_RESET2, MEM_PROTECT and MEM_PROTECT_CHECK_RANGE.

I think its simpler for the HYPERCALL thing to act as a catch-all, and we provide
something to enumerate the list of function id's the kernel implements.

We can then add controls to disable the PSCI (which I think is the only one we have a case
for disabling). I think the PSCI disable should wait until it has a user.


Thanks,

James
