MFC r282209:
Emulate the 'bit test' instruction.

MFC r282259:
Re-implement RTC current time calculation to eliminate the possibility of
losing time.

MFC r282281:
Advertise the MTRR feature via CPUID and emulate the minimal set of MTRR MSRs.

MFC r282284:
When an instruction cannot be decoded just return to userspace so bhyve(8)
can dump the instruction bytes.

MFC r282287:
Don't require <sys/cpuset.h> to be always included before <machine/vmm.h>.

MFC r282296:
Emulate MSR_SYSCFG which is accessed by Linux on AMD cpus when MTRRs are
enabled.

MFC r282301:
Relax limits when transitioning a vector from the IRR to the ISR and also
when extinguishing it from the ISR in response to an EOI.

MFC r282335:
Advertise an additional memory BAR in the "dummy" device emulation.

MFC r282336:
Emulate machine check related MSRs to allow guest OSes like Windows to boot.

MFC r282351:
Don't advertise the Intel SMX capability to the guest.

MFC r282407:
Emulate the 'CMP r/m8, imm8' instruction.

MFC r282519:
Add macros for AMD-specific bits in MSR_EFER: LMSLE, FFXSR and TCE.

MFC r282520:
Emulate guest writes to EFER_MSR properly.

MFC r282558:
Deprecate the 3-way return values from vm_gla2gpa() and vm_copy_setup().

MFC r282571:
Check 'td_owepreempt' and yield the vcpu thread if it is set.

MFC r282595:
Allow byte reads of AHCI registers.

MFC r282784:
Handling indirect descriptors is a capability of the host and not one that

field when verifying that indirect descriptors are supported.

MFC r282788:
Allow configuration of the sector size advertised to the guest.

MFC r282865:
Set the subvendor field in config space to the vendor ID. This is required
by the Windows virtio drivers to correctly match a device.

MFC r282922:
Bump the size of the blockif scatter-gather list to 67.

MFC r283075:
Fix off-by-one in array index bounds check. bhyveload would allow you to
create 33 entries on an array that only has 32 slots

MFC r283168:
Temporarily revert r282922 which bumped the max descriptors.

MFC r283255:
Emulate the "CMP r/m, reg" instruction (opcode 39H).

"sleeping" state.

MOVS instruction emulation.

MFC r277626:
Add macro to identify AVIC capability (advanced virtual interrupt controller)
in AMD processors.

MFC r279220:
Don't close a block context if it couldn't be opened avoiding a null deref.

MFC r279225:
Add "-u" option to bhyve(8) to indicate that the RTC should maintain UTC time.

MFC r279227:
Emulate MSR 0xC0011024 when running on AMD processors.

MFC r279228:
Always emulate MSR_PAT on Intel processors and don't rely on PAT save/restore

# 257396 30-Oct-2013 neel

MFC r257293.

Add support for PCI-to-ISA LPC bridge emulation. If the LPC bus is attached
to a virtual machine then we implicitly create COM1 and COM2 ISA devices.

Prior to this change the only way of attaching a COM port to the virtual
machine was by presenting it as a PCI device that is mapped at the legacy
I/O address 0x3F8 or 0x2F8.

There were some issues with the original approach:
- It did not work at all with UEFI because UEFI will reprogram the PCI device
BARs and remap the COM1/COM2 ports at non-legacy addresses.
- OpenBSD GENERIC kernel does not create a /dev/console because it expects
the uart device at the legacy 0x3F8/0x2F8 address to be an ISA device.
- It was functional with a FreeBSD guest but caused the console to appear
on /dev/ttyu2 which was not intuitive.

The uart emulation is now independent of the bus on which it resides. Thus it
is possible to have uart devices on the PCI bus in addition to the legacy
COM1/COM2 devices behind the LPC bus.

The command line option to attach ISA COM1/COM2 ports to a virtual machine is
"-s <bus>,lpc -l com1,stdio".

The command line option to create a PCI-attached uart device is:
"-s <bus>,uart[,stdio]"

The command line option to create PCI-attached COM1/COM2 device is:
"-S <bus>,uart[,stdio]". This style of creating COM ports is deprecated.
