Move some of the logic of hv_irq_compose_irq_message() into
hv_map_msi_interrupt(). Make hv_map_msi_interrupt() a globally-available
helper function, which will be used to map PCI interrupts when running
in the root partition.

When running nested, these hypercalls must be sent to the L0 hypervisor
or VMBus will fail.

Remove hv_do_nested_hypercall() and hv_do_fast_nested_hypercall8()
altogether and open-code these cases, since there are only 2 and all
they do is add the nested bit.

Pull KVM fixes from Paolo Bonzini:
 "Many patches, pretty much all of them small, that accumulated while I
  was on vacation.

  ARM:

   - Remove the last leftovers of the ill-fated FPSIMD host state
     mapping at EL2 stage-1

   - Fix unexpected advertisement to the guest of unimplemented S2 base
     granule sizes

   - Gracefully fail initialising pKVM if the interrupt controller isn't
     GICv3

   - Also gracefully fail initialising pKVM if the carveout allocation
     fails

   - Fix the computing of the minimum MMIO range required for the host
     on stage-2 fault

   - Fix the generation of the GICv3 Maintenance Interrupt in nested
     mode

  x86:

   - Reject SEV{-ES} intra-host migration if one or more vCPUs are
     actively being created, so as not to create a non-SEV{-ES} vCPU in
     an SEV{-ES} VM

   - Use a pre-allocated, per-vCPU buffer for handling de-sparsification
     of vCPU masks in Hyper-V hypercalls; fixes a "stack frame too
     large" issue

   - Allow out-of-range/invalid Xen event channel ports when configuring
     IRQ routing, to avoid dictating a specific ioctl() ordering to
     userspace

   - Conditionally reschedule when setting memory attributes to avoid
     soft lockups when userspace converts huge swaths of memory to/from
     private

   - Add back MWAIT as a required feature for the MONITOR/MWAIT selftest

   - Add a missing field in struct sev_data_snp_launch_start that
     resulted in the guest-visible workarounds field being filled at the
     wrong offset

   - Skip non-canonical address when processing Hyper-V PV TLB flushes
     to avoid VM-Fail on INVVPID

   - Advertise supported TDX TDVMCALLs to userspace

   - Pass SetupEventNotifyInterrupt arguments to userspace

Pull x86 platform drivers fixes from Ilpo Järvinen:
 "Mostly a few lines fixed here and there except amd/isp4 which improves
  swnodes relationships but that is a new driver not in any stable
  kernels yet. The think-lmi driver changes also look relatively large
  but there are just many fixes to it.

  The i2c/piix4 change is a effectively a revert of the commit
  7e173eb82ae9 ("i2c: piix4: Make CONFIG_I2C_PIIX4 dependent on
  CONFIG_X86") but that required moving the header out from arch/x86
  under include/linux/platform_data/

  Summary:

   - amd/isp4: Improve swnode graph (new driver exception)

   - asus-nb-wmi: Use duo keyboard quirk for Zenbook Duo UX8406CA

   - dell-lis3lv02d: Add Latitude 5500 accelerometer address

   - dell-wmi-sysman: Fix WMI data block retrieval and class dev unreg

   - hp-bioscfg: Fix class device unregistration

   - i2c: piix4: Re-enable on non-x86 + move FCH header under platform_data/

   - intel/hid: Wildcat Lake support

   - mellanox:
      - mlxbf-pmc: Fix duplicate event ID
      - mlxbf-tmfifo: Fix vring_desc.len assignment

<title>x86/sev: Use TSC_FACTOR for Secure TSC frequency calculation</title>

When using Secure TSC, the GUEST_TSC_FREQ MSR reports a frequency based on
the nominal P0 frequency, which deviates slightly (typically ~0.2%) from
the actual mean TSC frequency due to clocking parameters.

Over extended VM uptime, this discrepancy accumulates, causing clock skew
between the hypervisor and a SEV-SNP VM, leading to early timer interrupts as
perceived by the guest.

The guest kernel relies on the reported nominal frequency for TSC-based
timekeeping, while the actual frequency set during SNP_LAUNCH_START may
differ. This mismatch results in inaccurate time calculations, causing the
guest to perceive hrtimers as firing earlier than expected.

Utilize the TSC_FACTOR from the SEV firmware's secrets page (see "Secrets
Page Format" in the SNP Firmware ABI Specification) to calculate the mean
TSC frequency, ensuring accurate timekeeping and mitigating clock skew in
SEV-SNP VMs.

Use early_ioremap_encrypted() to map the secrets page as
ioremap_encrypted() uses kmalloc() which is not available during early TSC
initialization and causes a panic.
