[PATCH 0/3] x86/kvm/hyper-v: Implement Direct Mode for synthetic timers

[Vitaly Kuznetsov <vkuznets@redhat.com>]

Turns out Hyper-V on KVM (as of 2016) will only use synthetic timers
if direct mode is available. With direct mode we notify the guest by
asserting APIC irq instead of sending a SynIC message.

The series was tested with Hyper-V on KVM as well as kvm-unit-tests.
I'm including Qemu a kvm-unit-tests patches for testing purposes.

Vitaly Kuznetsov (3):
  x86/hyper-v: move synic/stimer control structures definitions to
    hyperv-tlfs.h
  x86/kvm/hyper-v: use stimer config definition from hyperv-tlfs.h
  x86/kvm/hyper-v: direct mode for synthetic timers
