[PATCH v2 0/5] KVM: Improve VMware guest support

[Zack Rusin <zack.rusin@broadcom.com>]

This is the second version of a series that lets us run VMware
Workstation on Linux on top of KVM.

The most significant change in this series is the introduction of
CONFIG_KVM_VMWARE which is, in general, a nice cleanup for various
bits of VMware compatibility code that have been scattered around KVM.
(first patch)

The rest of the series builds upon the VMware platform to implement
features that are needed to run VMware guests without any
modifications on top of KVM:
- ability to turn on the VMware backdoor at runtime on a per-vm basis
(used to be a kernel boot argument only)
- support for VMware hypercalls - VMware products have a huge
collection of hypercalls, all of which are handled in userspace,
- support for handling legacy VMware backdoor in L0 in nested configs
- in cases where we have WS running a Windows VBS guest, the L0 would
be KVM, L1 Hyper-V so by default VMware Tools backdoor calls endup in
Hyper-V which can not handle them, so introduce a cap to let L0 handle
those.

The final change in the series is a kselftest of the VMware hypercall
functionality.
