The initial SVM implementation (correctly) just used another standard
x86_64 page table for nested paging. The EPT implementation is for Intel
VMX only. Since we don't know the underlying virtualization technology
at compile time, we need to pick the correct page table implementation
at runtime.
Add add a AMD-compatible HPT page table implementation using the same
base implementation and (more importantly) allocator as the EPT
implementation. Add a Vm_page_table implementation that determines the
used virtualization technology at runtime and internally defers insert
and remove operations to the correct page table implementation.
Issue #5218
To make the x86 page table base implementation compatible with the
function signatures used in hw, make the Intel IOMMU specific arguments
optional:
- Make the `flush` parameter default to false.
- Make the `supported_sizes` parameter default to 1GB + 2MB + 4k.
Issue #5217
The Intel IOMMU page table implementation in the pc platform driver uses
a page table allocator that is adapted from the implementation in the hw
kernel.
Move the allocator to base as a first step to consolidate
implementations, fix an Array constructor and re-add the Allocator
constructor working on addresses instead of tables.
Issue #5217
On hw, `Page_flags` is used throughout architectures. At the same time,
it is used by the Intel IOMMU page table implementation in the pc
platform driver.
Consolidate the definition in base so it is available for all users.

separately. The "iommu" option is now split up into "iommu_intel" and
"iommu_amd" and thereby can be disabled easily if required for one of the CPU
vendors.

- no need to explicitly switch off vga anymore
- use vPID for VMs which improves TLB usage if multiple vCPUs on same
pCPU is used, which happens to happen on Sculpt.
- support for mwait by nova kernel, which is off by default
Issue #5206
Create a generic interface for x86 virtualization.
Split the VMCB data structure in `Vmcb_buf` to represent the physical
VMCB page and `VMCB` as a control interface.
Issue #5113
So far, the VMCB data structure was generated from it's parts (most
prominently VMCB Control Area and VMCB State Save Area) with the VMCB Control
Area accessed via the Mmio framework, while the VMCB State Save Area
struct used directly defined members.
Unify the VMCB structure and uniformly use the Mmio framework to access
the VMCB. Separate the controlling structure from the VMCB page.
Issue #5113
The SVM implementation did not lend itself to a runtime selection of the
x86 virtualization technology.
Encapsulate functionality in the VMCB class to facilitate adding support
for Intel's VMX.
Issue #5113
The initial algorithm ported to hw seems to be correct in principle,
however it does not work with nested virtualization.
Clean up the code to make the different methods of obtaining the TSC
frequencies more clear, and add warnings if a particular
method has failed although it should be available.

for other VMMs beside Virtualbox, e.g. Seoul or potentially arm/vmm. The
webcam model depends on libyuv, which uses stdcxx + full libc, which is not
desired or required for all VMM implementations.
Fixes#5208
We discovered this relocation, which does nothing, in pre-compiled
libraries. It is easy to implement because it has the same
relocation-type number (0) for all supported ABIs.
Also adjust error message from "Unsupported PLT relocation" to
"Unsupported translation table address format" to not confuse the
relocation type with the translation table type.

During resume the waiting for Cmd::St takes ~2s on a T460p with Intel
AHCI SSD attached. According to the Serial ATA AHCI Spec. wakeup can take
seconds, e.g. chapter 8.2 Power State Mappings of the Serial ATA AHCI spec
(1.3.1).

Restore the reporting in situations where all capture sessions are gone.

Issue #5174
Instead of using one default policy when creating an mmc driver's
configuration, produce some more static policy items to support
boards with more than one card per driver (mnt_reform2).
Both keys are physically the same on available keyboards (with varying
labeling). Unfortunately, PS/2 scancode sets and USB HID spec seem to
differ slightly in their interpretation. Therefore, we keep the
driver-level reporting as is but report both as KEY_PRINT in Sculpt,
which allows to use the key(s) for screenshoter rules most prominently.
Also, unify sculpt/event_filter/pc with sculpt_manager.
The run tool overrides the 'exit'-procedure to make sure that a loaded
run_power_off procedure is always executed. However, a failing
run_power_off lead to false-positives: 'make run/...' exited with 0 even
tough the run script was not even executed because of a failed
power-on/off cycle. In this case, if the run_power_off is the exit code
producer, the new exit definition does not finish as intended. As a
result, the first exit code is re-written, and errors are not propagated
accordingly.
The solution is to catch possible errors from power-off within the exit
procedure.
