From: Wanpeng Li <wanpen...@tencent.com>
Using hypercall to send IPIs by one vmexit instead of one by one for
xAPIC/x2APIC physical mode and one vmexit per-cluster for x2APIC cluster
mode.
Even if enable qemu interrupt remapping and PV TLB Shootdown, I can still
observe ~14% performance boost by ebizzy benchmark for 64 vCPUs VM, the
total msr-induced vmexits reduce ~70%.
