INIT signal has been used to kick off the partitioned pCPU, like RTVM,
whose LAPIC is pass-through. notification IPI is used to kick off
sharing pCPU.
Add mode_to_kick_pcpu in per-cpu to control the way of kicking
pCPU.

BVT schedule rule:
When a new thread is wakeup and added to runqueue, it will get the
smallest avt (svt) from runqueue to initiate its avt. If the svt is
smaller than it's avt, it will keep the original avt. With the svt, it
can prevent a thread from claiming an excessive share of CPU after
sleepting for a long time.
For the reboot issue, when the VM is reboot, it means a new vcpu thread
is wakeup, but at this time, the Service VM's vcpu thread is blocked,
and removed from the runqueue, and the runqueue is empty, so the svt is
0. The new vcpu thread will get avt=0. avt=0 means very high priority,
and can run for a very long time until it catch up with other thread's
avt in runqueue.
At this time, when Service VM's vcpu thread wakeup, it will check the
svt, but the svt is very small, so will not update it's avt according to
the rule, thus has a very low priority and cannot be scheduled.
To fix it, update svt in pick_next handler to make sure svt is align
with the avt of the first obj in runqueue.

Many of the license and Intel copyright headers include the "All rights

throughout the code (hypervisor, devicemodel and misc).

1. do not allow external modules to touch internal field of a timer.
2. make timer mode internal, period_in_ticks will decide the mode.
API wise:
1. the "mode" parameter was taken out of initialize_timer().
2. a new function update_timer() was added to update the timeout and
period fields.
3. the timer_expired() function was extended with an output parameter
to return the remaining cycles before expiration.
Also, the "fire_tsc" field name of hv_timer was renamed to "timeout".
With the new API, however, this change should not concern user code.

Generalize and split basic cpu cycle/tick routines from x86/timer:
- Instead of rdstc(), use cpu_ticks() in generic code.
- Instead of get_tsc_khz(), use cpu_tickrate() in generic code.
- Include "common/ticks.h" instead of "x86/timer.h" in generic code.
- CYCLES_PER_MS is renamed to TICKS_PER_MS.
The x86 specific API rdstc() and get_tsc_khz(), as well as TSC_PER_MS
are still available in arch/x86/tsc.h but only for x86 specific usage.

In the wakeup handler, the vcpu_thread object will be inserted into the
runqueue, and in the sleep handler, it will be removed from the queue.
vcpu_thread object is ordered by EVT (effective virtual time).

BVT (Borrowed virtual time) scheduler is used to schedule vCPUs on pCPU.
It has the concept of virtual time, vCPU with earliset virtual time is
dispatched first.
Main concepts:
tick timer:
a period tick is used to measure the physcial time in units of MCU
(minimum charing unit).
runqueue:
thread in the runqueue is ordered by virtual time.
weight:
each thread receives a share of the pCPU in proportion to its
weight.
context switch allowance:
the physcial time by which the current thread is allowed to advance
beyond the next runnable thread.
warp:
a thread with warp enabled will have a change to minus a value (Wi)
from virtual time to achieve higher priority.
virtual time:
AVT: actual virtual time, advance in proportional to weight.
EVT: effective virtual time.
EVT <- AVT - ( warp ? Wi : 0 )
SVT: scheduler virtual time, the minimum AVT in the runqueue.
