KVM: SEV: Do cache maintenance on the source VM during intra-host migrationgrafted
Manually perform cache maintenance on the source VM during intra-host migration to ensure no stale data is left in CPU caches after the VM is destroyed. Because the source VM is "converted" to a non-SEV VM, KVM's memory reclaim flows won't trigger cache maintenance, e.g. when all guest memory is reclaimed in response to detaching from the mmu_notifier. Note, relying on the destination VM to do cache maintenance isn't an option as KVM doesn't require identical guest memory configurations, i.e. the source VM may have access to memory that the destination VM does not. Enforcing equivalent memory configurations is infeasible, as it would require a *deep* comparison of memslots, e.g. to verify that not only are the memslot identical, but what the memslots point at is also identical.

+What: /sys/class/misc/drivers/dw-xdata-pcie.<device>/write
+Date: April 2021
+KernelVersion: 5.13
+Contact: Gustavo Pimentel <gustavo.pimentel@synopsys.com>
+Description: Allows the user to enable the PCIe traffic generator which
+ will create write TLPs frames - from the Root Complex to the
+ Endpoint direction or to disable the PCIe traffic generator
+ in all directions.
+
+ Write y/1/on to enable, n/0/off to disable
+
+ Usage e.g.
+ echo 1 > /sys/class/misc/dw-xdata-pcie.<device>/write
+ or
+ echo 0 > /sys/class/misc/dw-xdata-pcie.<device>/write
+
+ The user can read the current PCIe link throughput generated
+ through this generator in MB/s.
+
+ Usage e.g.
+ cat /sys/class/misc/dw-xdata-pcie.<device>/write
+ 204
+
+ The file is read and write.
