Subject[PATCH v2 2/2] kvm/vmx: Using hardware cpuid faulting to avoid emulation overhead
Date
Current cpuid faulting of guest is purely emulated in kvm, which exploits
CPUID vm exit to inject #GP to guest. However, if host hardware cpu has
X86_FEATURE_CPUID_FAULT, we can just use the hardware cpuid faulting for
guest to avoid the vm exit overhead.

Note: cpuid faulting takes higher priority over CPUID instruction vm
exit (Intel SDM vol3.25.1.1).

Since cpuid faulting only exists on some Intel's cpu, just apply this
optimization to vmx.
