cpu_synchronize_state() is currently no-op for hvf but BIOS will hang in
vAPIC option ROM when cpu_synchronize_state() is wired to
hvf_cpu_synchronize_state().
cpu_synchronize_state() state is called from vapic_write() during option
ROM initialization. It sets dirty flag on the cpu. macvm_set_rip() is
then invoked to advance IP after the I/O write to vAPIC port.
macvm_set_rip() only modifies VMCS, it doesn't change env->eip.
Therefore on the next iteration of vCPU loop, vcpu_dirty flag is checked
and hvf_put_registers() overwrites correct RIP in VMCS with the value of
env->eip that points to the I/O write instruction. Execution of the CPU
gets stuck on the instruction.
The issue can be avoided if eip doesn't contain stale value when dirty
flag is set on cpu.
