VMCS12 fields that are not handled through shadow VMCS are rarely
written, and thus they are also almost constant in the vmcs02. We can
thus optimize prepare_vmcs02 by skipping all the work for non-shadowed
fields in the common case.
This patch introduces the (pretty simple) tracking infrastructure; the
next patches will move work to prepare_vmcs02_full and save a few hundred
clock cycles per VMRESUME on a Haswell Xeon E5 system:
