KVM: SVM: Emulate #INIT in response to triple fault shutdown
Emulate a full #INIT instead of simply initializing the VMCB if the guest hits a shutdown. Initializing the VMCB but not other vCPU state, much of which is mirrored by the VMCB, results in incoherent and broken vCPU state. Ideally, KVM would not automatically init anything on shutdown, and instead put the vCPU into e.g. KVM_MP_STATE_UNINITIALIZED and force userspace to explicitly INIT or RESET the vCPU. Even better would be to add KVM_MP_STATE_SHUTDOWN, since technically NMI can break shutdown (and SMI on Intel CPUs). But, that ship has sailed, and emulating #INIT is the next best thing as that has at least some connection with reality since there exist bare metal platforms that automatically INIT the CPU if it hits shutdown.
