x86/hvm: Disallow the creation of HVM domains without Local APIC emulation
There are multiple problems, not necesserily limited to:
* Guests which configure event channels via hvmop_set_evtchn_upcall_vector(),
or which hit %cr8 emulation will cause Xen to fall over a NULL vlapic->regs
pointer.
* On Intel hardware, disabling the TPR_SHADOW execution control without
reenabling CR8_{LOAD,STORE} interception means that the guests %cr8
accesses interact with the real TPR. Amongst other things, setting the
real TPR to 0xf blocks even IPIs from interrupting this CPU.
* On hardware which sets up the use of Interrupt Posting, including
IOMMU-Posting, guests run without the appropriate non-root configuration,
which at a minimum will result in dropped interrupts.
Whether no-LAPIC mode is of any use at all remains to be seen.
This is XSA-256.
