Hypercall register needs to be saved and restored for
TLB flush and IPI synthetic features enablement.
Enabling these two synthetic features improves
guest performance.

Initialize MTRR defType register the same way the KVM code does - WB caching by default.
Tested with latest mshv code.
Without this patch, these lines are present in guest serial log:
[ 0.000032] x86/PAT: MTRRs disabled, skipping PAT initialization too.
[ 0.000036] CPU MTRRs all blank - virtualized system.
This indicates the guest is detecting the set MTRR.

In particular update for the vmm-sys-util upgrade and all the other
dependent packages. This requires an updated forked version of
kvm-bindings (due to updated vfio-ioctls) but allowed the removal of our
forked version of kvm-ioctls.
The changes to the API from kvm-ioctls and vmm-sys-util required some
other minor changes to the code.

Currently these two macros(msr, msr_data) reside both on kvm and mshv
module. Definition is same for both module. Moving them to arch/x86
module eliminates redundancy and makes more sense.
