KVM: selftests: Test IPI to halted vCPU in xAPIC while backing page moves
When a guest is using xAPIC KVM allocates a backing page for the required EPT entry for the APIC access address set in the VMCS. If mm decides to move that page the KVM mmu notifier will update the VMCS with the new HPA. This test induces a page move to test that APIC access continues to work correctly. It is a directed test for commit e649b3f0 "KVM: x86: Fix APIC page invalidation race". Tested: ran for 1 hour on a skylake, migrating backing page every 1ms Depends on patch "selftests: kvm: Add exception handling to selftests" from aaronlewis@google.com that has not yet been queued.
