Enlightened MSR-Bitmap feature implements a PV protocol for L0 and L1
hypervisors to collaborate and skip unneeded updates to MSR-Bitmap.
KVM implements the feature for KVM-on-Hyper-V but it seems there was
a flaw in the implementation and the feature may not be fully functional.
PATCHes 1-2 fix the problem. The rest of the series implements the same
feature for Hyper-V-on-KVM.

KVM: SVM: Drop stale comment from
svm_hv_vmcb_dirty_nested_enlightenments()
KVM: SVM: hyper-v: Enable Enlightened MSR-Bitmap support for real
KVM: nSVM: Track whether changes in L0 require MSR bitmap for L2 to be
rebuilt
KVM: x86: Make kvm_hv_hypercall_enabled() static inline
KVM: nSVM: Implement Enlightened MSR-Bitmap feature

Queued 3-5 now, but it would be nice to have some testcases.
