Bill Nguyen 1beb9c0064 x86/vcpu: Expose VMX entry controls to userspace
Allow userspace reads and writes to `VMX_CONTROL_ENTRY_CONTROLS` field
of VMCS. Which is primarily used for enabling long mode and loading of
certain MSRs on VM Entry. As far as I know this field only controls the
behaviour of the VCPU and would not allow userspace to violate any
kernel properties such as disabling external interrupt exiting or EPT.

The effects of bits in this field are defined in
Chapter 27.8 "VM-ENTRY CONTROL FIELDS" of the
Intel SDM Order Number: 325462-090US February 2026.
