    NVMM: Sync with NetBSD #2: SVM & VMX backends
    
    This commit syncs the NVMM kernel part to match NetBSD current (as of
    2021-06-25).  The main changes are as follows:
    
    * Improve host FPU handling.  The host FPU state is now save in PCB
      instead of in vCPU data area.
    
    * Clear TS flag from the host's CR0 in _vcpu_init(), because it is also
      cleared inside the _vcpu_run() loop.  Not clearing it could trigger
      DNAs on VMEXITs.
    
    * Set VMCS_HOST_IDTR_BASE on each CPU independently, because the IDT is
      now per-CPU (in NetBSD).
    
      NOTE: DragonFly is also using per-CPU IDT, so this change fixes a
      porting issue.
    
    * Disable interrupts earlier to prevent possible race against TLB flush
      IPIs, because such IPIs don't respect the IPL, so enforcing IPL_HIGH
      has no effect.
    
    * VMX: Improve CR0 handling:
    
      - Flush the guest TLB when certain CR0 bits change.
      - Employ VMCS_CR0_SHADOW to allow the guest to update certain static
        CR0 bits.  Guest gets the illusion that the CR0 change was applied,
        but the "real" CR0 bits remain unchanged.
      - Force CR0_ET to 1 in shadow CR0; force CR0_ET and CR0_NE in real
        CR0.
      - Add comments to clarify better.
    
    NOTE:
    NetBSD has overhauled the FPU handling, so NVMM no longer needs to save
    host FPU state in the _cpudata structure.  I haven't found a way to do
    this on DragonFly yet, so leave it and investigate it later.
