Per Hyper-V spec, SynIC message and event flag pages are to be
implemented as so called overlay pages. That is, they are owned by the
hypervisor and, when mapped into the guest physical address space,
overlay the guest physical pages such that
1) the overlaid guest page becomes invisible to the guest CPUs until the
overlay page is turned off
2) the contents of the overlay page is preserved when it's turned off
and back on, even at a different address; it's only zeroed at vcpu
reset
This particular nature of SynIC message and event flag pages is ignored
in the current code, and guest physical pages are used directly instead.
This happens to (mostly) work because the actual guests seem not to
depend on the features listed above.
This patch implements those pages as the spec mandates.
Since the extra RAM regions, which introduce migration incompatibility,
are only added at SynIC object creation which only happens when
hyperv_synic_kvm_only == false, no extra compat logic is necessary.
