The enlightenment allows to use Hyper-V SynIC with hardware APICv/AVIC
enabled. Normally, Hyper-V SynIC disables these hardware features and
suggests the guest to use paravirtualized AutoEOI feature. Linux-4.15
gains support for conditional APICv/AVIC disablement, the feature
stays on until the guest tries to use AutoEOI feature with SynIC. With
'HV_DEPRECATING_AEOI_RECOMMENDED' bit exposed, modern enough Windows/
Hyper-V versions should follow the recommendation and not use the
(unwanted) feature.

When Hyper-V SynIC is enabled, we may need to allow Windows guests to make
hypercalls (POST_MESSAGES/SIGNAL_EVENTS). No issue is currently observed
because KVM is very permissive, allowing these hypercalls regarding of
guest visible CPUid bits.

KVM doesn't fully support Hyper-V reenlightenment notifications on
migration. In particular, it doesn't support emulating TSC frequency
of the source host by trapping all TSC accesses so unless TSC scaling
is supported on the destination host and KVM_SET_TSC_KHZ succeeds, it
is unsafe to proceed with migration.
KVM_SET_TSC_KHZ is called from two sites: kvm_arch_init_vcpu() and
kvm_arch_put_registers(). The later (intentionally) doesn't propagate
errors allowing migrations to succeed even when TSC scaling is not
supported on the destination. This doesn't suit 're-enlightenment'
use-case as we have to guarantee that TSC frequency stays constant.
Require 'tsc-frequency=' command line option to be specified for successful
migration when re-enlightenment was enabled by the guest.
