This patch adds support for "vpindex", "runtime", "synic", "stimer", and "vendor_id" features available in qemu 2.5+. - When Hyper-V "vpindex" is on, guest can use MSR HV_X64_MSR_VP_INDEX to get virtual processor ID. - Hyper-V "runtime" enlightement feature allows to use MSR HV_X64_MSR_VP_RUNTIME to get the time the virtual processor consumes running guest code, as well as the time the hypervisor spends running code on behalf of that guest. - Hyper-V "synic" stands for Synthetic Interrupt Controller, which is lapic extension controlled via MSRs. - Hyper-V "stimer" switches on Hyper-V SynIC timers MSR's support. Guest can setup and use fired by host events (SynIC interrupt and appropriate timer expiration message) as guest clock events - Hyper-V "reset" allows guest to reset VM. - Hyper-V "vendor_id" exposes hypervisor vendor id to guest.

LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
