Renaming docs seems to be en vogue at the moment, so fix on of the
grossly misnamed directories. We usually never use "virtual" as
a shortcut for virtualization in the kernel, but always virt,
as seen in the virt/ top-level directory. Fix up the documentation
to match that.
Fixes: ed16648eb5b8 ("Move kvm, uml, and lguest subdirectories under a common "virtual" directory, I.E:")

Add an MSRs which allows the guest to disable
host polling (specifically the cpuidle-haltpoll,
when performing polling in the guest, disables
host side polling).

Guests on new hypersiors might set KVM_ASYNC_PF_DELIVERY_AS_PF_VMEXIT
bit when enabling async_PF, but this bit is reserved on old hypervisors,
which results in a failure upon migration.
To avoid breaking different cases, we are checking for CPUID feature bit
before enabling the feature and nothing else.
Fixes: 52a5c155cf79 ("KVM: async_pf: Let guest support delivery of async_pf from guest mode")

Adds another flag bit (bit 2) to MSR_KVM_ASYNC_PF_EN. If bit 2 is 1,
async page faults are delivered to L1 as #PF vmexits; if bit 2 is 0,
kvm_can_do_async_pf returns 0 if in guest mode.
This is similar to what svm.c wanted to do all along, but it is only
enabled for Linux as L1 hypervisor. Foreign hypervisors must never
receive async page faults as vmexits, because they'd probably be very
confused about that.

Commit ("x86/kvm: support vCPU preemption check") added a new
struct kvm_steal_time::preempted field. This field tells us if
a vCPU is running or not.
It is zero if some old KVM does not support this field or if the vCPU
is not preempted. Other values means the vCPU has been preempted.

When commit 6adba5274206 (KVM: Let host know whether the guest can
handle async PF in non-userspace context.) is introduced, actually
bit 2 still is reserved and should be zero. Instead, bit 1 is 1 to
indicate if asynchronous page faults can be injected when vcpu is
in cpl == 0, and also please see this,
in the file kvm_para.h, #define KVM_ASYNC_PF_SEND_ALWAYS (1 << 1).

conceptually on guest or host side, so a separate patch.

To implement steal time, we need the hypervisor to pass the guest information
about how much time was spent running other processes outside the VM.
This is per-vcpu, and using the kvmclock structure for that is an abuse
we decided not to make.
In this patchset, I am introducing a new msr, KVM_MSR_STEAL_TIME, that
holds the memory area address containing information about steal time
This patch contains the headers for it. I am keeping it separate to facilitate
backports to people who wants to backport the kernel part but not the
hypervisor, or the other way around.
