xen/PMU: Intercept PMU-related MSR and APIC accesses

Provide interfaces for recognizing accesses to PMU-related MSRs and
LVTPC APIC and process these accesses in Xen PMU code.

(The interrupt handler performs XENPMU_flush right away in the beginning
since no PMU emulation is available. It will be added with a later patch).

xen/PMU: Initialization code for Xen PMU

Map shared data structure that will hold CPU registers, VPMU context,
V/PCPU IDs of the CPU interrupted by PMU interrupt. Hypervisor fills
this information in its handler and passes it to the guest for further
processing.

Set up PMU VIRQ.

Now that perf infrastructure will assume that PMU is available on a PV
guest we need to be careful and make sure that accesses via RDPMC
instruction don't cause fatal traps by the hypervisor. Provide a nop
RDPMC handler.

For the same reason avoid issuing a warning on a write to APIC's LVTPC.

Both of these will be made functional in later patches.
