I didn't post it yet, as I didn't consider the v1 discussion
settled so far. The intermediate version I have at present is
below.

VMX: use a single, global APIC access page

The address of this page is used by the CPU only to recognize when to
access the virtual APIC page instead. No accesses would ever go to this
page. It only needs to be present in the (CPU) page tables so that
address translation will produce its address as result for respective
accesses.

By making this page global, we also eliminate the need to refcount it,
or to assign it to any domain in the first place.

v2: Avoid insertion when !has_vlapic(). Split off change to
    p2m_get_iommu_flags().
---
Hooking p2m insertion onto arch_domain_creation_finished() isn't very
nice, but I couldn't find any better hook (nor a good place where to
introduce a new one). In particular there look to be no hvm_funcs hooks
being used on a domain-wide basis (except for init/destroy of course).
I did consider connecting this to the setting of HVM_PARAM_IDENT_PT, but
considered this no better, the more that the tool stack could be smarter
and avoid setting that param when not needed.

I did further consider not allocating any real page at all, but just
using the address of some unpopulated space (which would require
announcing this page as reserved to Dom0, so it wouldn't put any PCI
MMIO BARs there). But I thought this would be too controversial, because
of the possible risks associated with this.
