KVM guest: guest side for eoi avoidance
The idea is simple: there's a bit, per APIC, in guest memory,
that tells the guest that it does not need EOI.
Guest tests it using a single est and clear operation - this is
necessary so that host can detect interrupt nesting - and if set, it can
skip the EOI MSR.
I run a simple microbenchmark to show exit reduction
(note: for testing, need to apply follow-up patch
'kvm: host side for eoi optimization' + a qemu patch
I posted separately, on host):

We see that # of exits is almost halved.
