Yonghua Huang 1a011bd91b hv: disable guest MONITOR-WAIT support when SW SRAM is configured
Per-core software SRAM L2 cache may be flushed by 'mwait'
extension instruction, which guest VM may execute to enter
core deep sleep. Such kind of flushing is not expected when
software SRAM is enabled for RTVM.

Hypervisor disables MONITOR-WAIT support on both hypervisor
and VMs sides to protect above software SRAM from being flushed.

This patch disable ACRN guest MONITOR-WAIT support if software
SRAM is configured.

ACRN Hypervisor
###############

The open source `Project ACRN`_ defines a device hypervisor reference stack and
an architecture for running multiple software subsystems, managed securely, on
a consolidated system by means of a virtual machine manager. It also defines a
reference framework implementation for virtual device emulation, called the
"ACRN Device Model".

The ACRN Hypervisor is a Type 1 reference hypervisor stack, running directly on
the bare-metal hardware, and is suitable for a variety of IoT and embedded
device solutions. The ACRN hypervisor addresses the gap that currently exists
between datacenter hypervisors, and hard partitioning hypervisors. The ACRN
hypervisor architecture partitions the system into different functional
domains, with carefully selected guest OS sharing optimizations for IoT and
embedded devices.

You can find out more about Project ACRN on the `Project ACRN documentation`_
website.
