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/firmware/ibft/initiator
+Date: November 2007
+Contact: Konrad Rzeszutek <ketuzsezr@darnok.org>
+Description: The /sys/firmware/ibft/initiator directory will contain
+ files that expose the iSCSI Boot Firmware Table initiator data.
+ Usually this contains the Initiator name.
+
+What: /sys/firmware/ibft/targetX
+Date: November 2007
+Contact: Konrad Rzeszutek <ketuzsezr@darnok.org>
+Description: The /sys/firmware/ibft/targetX directory will contain
+ files that expose the iSCSI Boot Firmware Table target data.
+ Usually this contains the target's IP address, boot LUN,
+ target name, and what NIC it is associated with. It can also
+ contain the CHAP name (and password), the reverse CHAP
+ name (and password)

+What: /sys/firmware/ibft/ethernetX
+Date: November 2007
+Contact: Konrad Rzeszutek <ketuzsezr@darnok.org>
+Description: The /sys/firmware/ibft/ethernetX directory will contain
+ files that expose the iSCSI Boot Firmware Table NIC data.
+ Usually this contains the IP address, MAC, and gateway of the NIC.

+What: /sys/firmware/ibft/acpi_header
+Date: March 2016
+Contact: David Bond <dbond@suse.com>
+Description: The /sys/firmware/ibft/acpi_header directory will contain files
+ that expose the SIGNATURE, OEM_ID, and OEM_TABLE_ID fields of the
+ acpi table header of the iBFT structure. This will allow for
+ identification of the creator of the table which is useful in
+ determining quirks associated with some adapters when used in
+ hardware vs software iscsi initiator mode.
