Changes since v5:
- Fix a couple of issues reported by kbuild test robot, both in
  PATCH7 (hope Radim's Reviewed-by: stands).

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 (E5-2667 v4 @ 3.20GHz):
  Before: 18890 cycles
  After: 8304 cycles

Ladi Prosek (1):
  x86/kvm: rename HV_X64_MSR_APIC_ASSIST_PAGE to
    HV_X64_MSR_VP_ASSIST_PAGE

Vitaly Kuznetsov (6):
  x86/hyper-v: move hyperv.h out of uapi
  x86/hyper-v: move definitions from TLFS to hyperv-tlfs.h
  x86/hyper-v: allocate and use Virtual Processor Assist Pages
  x86/hyper-v: define struct hv_enlightened_vmcs and clean field bits
  x86/hyper-v: detect nested features
  x86/kvm: use Enlightened VMCS when running on Hyper-V
