Starting with the "Sandy Bridge" generation, Intel CPUs provide a RAPL
interface (Running Average Power Limit) for advertising the accumulated
energy consumption of various power domains (e.g. CPU packages, DRAM,
etc.).
The consumption is reported via MSRs (model specific registers) like
MSR_PKG_ENERGY_STATUS for the CPU package power domain. These MSRs are
64 bits registers that represent the accumulated energy consumption in
micro Joules. They are updated by microcode every ~1ms.
For now, KVM always returns 0 when the guest requests the value of
these MSRs. Use the KVM MSR filtering mechanism to allow QEMU handle
these MSRs dynamically in userspace.
To limit the amount of system calls for every MSR call, create a new
thread in QEMU that updates the "virtual" MSR values asynchronously.
Each vCPU has its own vMSR to reflect the independence of vCPUs. The
thread updates the vMSR values with the ratio of energy consumed of
the whole physical CPU package the vCPU thread runs on and the
thread's utime and stime values.
All other non-vCPU threads are also taken into account. Their energy
consumption is evenly distributed among all vCPUs threads running on
the same physical CPU package.
To overcome the problem that reading the RAPL MSR requires priviliged
access, a socket communication between QEMU and the qemu-vmsr-helper is
mandatory. You can specified the socket path in the parameter.
This feature is activated with -accel kvm,rapl=true,path=/path/sock.sock
Actual limitation:
- Works only on Intel host CPU because AMD CPUs are using different MSR
adresses.
- Only the Package Power-Plane (MSR_PKG_ENERGY_STATUS) is reported at
the moment.

Use confidential_guest_kvm_init() instead of calling SEV
specific sev_kvm_init(). This allows the introduction of multiple
confidential-guest-support subclasses for different x86 vendors.
As a bonus, stubs are not needed anymore since there is no
direct call from target/i386/kvm/kvm.c to SEV code.

Software MMU is TCG specific. Here 'softmmu' is misused
for system emulation. Anyhow, since KVM is system emulation
specific, just rename as 'i386_kvm_ss'.

We use the user_ss[] array to hold the user emulation sources,
and the softmmu_ss[] array to hold the system emulation ones.
Hold the latter in the 'system_ss[]' array for parity with user
emulation.
Mechanical change doing:
$ sed -i -e s/softmmu_ss/system_ss/g $(git grep -l softmmu_ss)

This just initializes the basic Xen support in KVM for now. Only permitted
on TYPE_PC_MACHINE because that's where the sysbus devices for Xen heap
overlay, event channel, grant tables and other stuff will exist. There's
no point having the basic hypercall support if nothing else works.
Provide sysemu/kvm_xen.h and a kvm_xen_get_caps() which will be used
later by support devices.
