Cache a vCPU's CPUID information in "struct kvm_vcpu" to allow fixing the mess where tests, often unknowingly, modify the global/static "cpuid" allocated by kvm_get_supported_cpuid(). Add vcpu_init_cpuid() to handle stuffing an entirely different CPUID model, e.g. during vCPU creation or when switching to the Hyper-V enabled CPUID model. Automatically refresh the cache on vcpu_set_cpuid() so that any adjustments made by KVM are always reflected in the cache. Drop vcpu_get_cpuid() entirely to force tests to use the cache, and to allow adding e.g. vcpu_get_cpuid_entry() in the future without creating a conflicting set of APIs where vcpu_get_cpuid() does KVM_GET_CPUID2, but vcpu_get_cpuid_entry() does not. Opportunistically convert the VMX nested state test and KVM PV test to manipulating the vCPU's CPUID (because it's easy), but use vcpu_init_cpuid() for the Hyper-V features test and "emulator error" test to effectively retain their current behavior as they're less trivial to convert.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
