Most windows guests still utilize APIC Timer periodic/oneshot mode instead of tsc-deadline mode, and the APIC Timer periodic/oneshot mode are still emulated by high overhead hrtimer on host. This patch converts the expected expire time of the periodic/oneshot mode to guest deadline tsc in order to leverage VMX preemption timer logic for APIC Timer tsc-deadline mode. After each preemption timer vmexit preemption timer is restarted to emulate LVTT current-count register is automatically reloaded from the initial-count register when the count reaches 0. This patch reduces ~5600 cycles for each APIC Timer periodic mode operation virtualization.
