When running nested KVM on Hyper-V it's possible to use so called
'Enlightened VMCS' and do normal memory reads/writes instead of
doing VMWRITE/VMREAD instructions. In addition, clean field mask
provides a huge room for optimization on L0's side.

Tight CPUID loop test shows significant speedup (current kvm/queue on
E5-2667 v4 @ 3.20GHz):
 Before: 20766 cycles
 After: 8912 cycles

The series is based on current kvm/queue tree + 'reenlightenment' series.
