[PATCH v3 2/6] KVM: x86: add force_intercept_exceptions_mask

From: Maxim Levitsky <hidden>
Date: 2021-08-11 12:30:19
Also in: linux-doc, linux-kselftest, lkml
Subsystem: kernel virtual machine for x86 (kvm/x86), the rest, x86 architecture (32-bit and 64-bit) · Maintainers: Sean Christopherson, Paolo Bonzini, Linus Torvalds, Thomas Gleixner, Ingo Molnar, Borislav Petkov, Dave Hansen

This parameter will be used by VMX and SVM code to force
interception of a set of exceptions, given by a bitmask
for guest debug and/or kvm debug.

This is based on an idea first shown here:
