When sending a call-function IPI-many to vCPUs, yield if any of
the IPI target vCPUs was preempted, we just select the first
preempted target vCPU which we found since the state of target
vCPUs can change underneath and to avoid race conditions.

Implement paravirtual apic hooks to enable PV IPIs for KVM if the "send IPI"
hypercall is available. The hypercall lets a guest send IPIs, with
at most 128 destinations per hypercall in 64-bit mode and 64 vCPUs per
hypercall in 32-bit mode.

Many user space API headers are missing licensing information, which
makes it hard for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default are files without license information under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPLV2. Marking them GPLV2 would exclude
them from being included in non GPLV2 code, which is obviously not
intended. The user space API headers fall under the syscall exception
which is in the kernels COPYING file:
NOTE! This copyright does *not* cover user programs that use kernel
services by normal system calls - this is merely considered normal use
of the kernel, and does *not* fall under the heading of "derived work".
otherwise syscall usage would not be possible.
Update the files which contain no license information with an SPDX
license identifier. The chosen identifier is 'GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note' which is the officially assigned identifier for the
Linux syscall exception. SPDX license identifiers are a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne. See the previous patch in this series for the
methodology of how this patch was researched.

Add a hypercall to retrieve the host realtime clock and the TSC value
used to calculate that clock read.
Used to implement clock synchronization between host and guest.
