Convert kvm_x86_ops to use static calls. Note that all kvm_x86_ops are
covered here except for 'pmu_ops and 'nested ops'.
Here are some numbers running cpuid in a loop of 1 million calls averaged
over 5 runs, measured in the vm (lower is better).
Intel Xeon 3000MHz:
|default |mitigations=off
-------------------------------------
vanilla |.671s |.486s
static call|.573s(-15%)|.458s(-6%)
AMD EPYC 2500MHz:
|default |mitigations=off
-------------------------------------
vanilla |.710s |.609s
static call|.664s(-6%) |.609s(0%)

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.
