[PATCH V3 00/13] x86/KVM/Hyper-v: Add HV ept tlb range flush hypercall support in KVM

For nested memory virtualization, Hyper-v doesn't set write-protect
L1 hypervisor EPT page directory and page table node to track changes 
while it relies on guest to tell it changes via HvFlushGuestAddressLlist
hypercall. HvFlushGuestAddressLlist hypercall provides a way to flush
EPT page table with ranges which are specified by L1 hypervisor.

If L1 hypervisor uses INVEPT or HvFlushGuestAddressSpace hypercall to
flush EPT tlb, Hyper-V will invalidate associated EPT shadow page table
and sync L1's EPT table when next EPT page fault is triggered.
HvFlushGuestAddressLlist hypercall helps to avoid such redundant EPT
page fault and synchronization of shadow page table.

Change since v2:
       1) Fix comment in the kvm_flush_remote_tlbs_with_range()
       2) Move HV_MAX_FLUSH_PAGES and HV_MAX_FLUSH_REP_COUNT to
	hyperv-tlfs.h.
       3) Calculate HV_MAX_FLUSH_REP_COUNT in the macro definition
       4) Use HV_MAX_FLUSH_REP_COUNT to define length of gpa_list in
	struct hv_guest_mapping_flush_list.


Change since v1:
       1) Convert "end_gfn" of struct kvm_tlb_range to "pages" in order
          to avoid confusion as to whether "end_gfn" is inclusive or exlusive.
       2) Add hyperv tlb range struct and replace kvm tlb range struct
          with new struct in order to avoid using kvm struct in the hyperv
	  code directly.
