This paves the way for multiple architecture support. Note that while
ioapic.c could potentially be shared with ia64, it is also moved.

There is a race where VCPU0 is shadowing a pagetable entry while VCPU1
is updating it, which results in a stale shadow copy.
Fix that by comparing the contents of the cached guest pte with the
current guest pte after write-protecting the guest pagetable.

In addition to removing some duplicated code, this also handles the unlikely
case of real-mode code updating a guest page table. This can happen when
one vcpu (in real mode) touches a second vcpu's (in protected mode) page
tables, or if a vcpu switches to real mode, touches page tables, and switches
back.

As set_pte() no longer references either a gpte or the guest walker, we can
move it out of paging mode dependent code (which compiles twice and is
generally nasty).

When we emulate a guest pte write, we fail to apply the correct inherited
permissions from the parent ptes. Now that we store inherited permissions
in the shadow page, we can use that to update the pte permissions correctly.

The nx bit is awkwardly placed in the 63rd bit position; furthermore it
has a reversed meaning compared to the other bits, which means we can't use
a bitwise and to calculate compounded access masks.
So, we simplify things by creating a new 3-bit exec/write/user access word,
and doing all calculations in that.

This allows guest memory to be swapped. Pages which are currently mapped
via shadow page tables are pinned into memory, but all other pages can
be freely swapped.
The patch makes gfn_to_page() elevate the page's reference count, and
introduces kvm_release_page() that pairs with it.

The current kvm mmu only reverse maps writable translation. This is used
to write-protect a page in case it becomes a pagetable.
But with swapping support, we need a reverse mapping of read-only pages as
well: when we evict a page, we need to remove any mapping to it, whether
writable or not.

Some of the MMU functions take a struct kvm_vcpu even though they affect all
VCPUs. This patch cleans up some of them to instead take a struct kvm. This
makes things a bit more clear.
The main thing that was confusing me was whether certain functions need to be
called on all VCPUs.

When kvm uses user-allocated pages in the future for the guest, we won't
be able to use page->private for rmap, since page->rmap is reserved for
the filesystem. So we move the rmap base pointers to the memory slot.
A side effect of this is that we need to store the gfn of each gpte in
the shadow pages, since the memory slot is addressed by gfn, instead of
hfn like struct page.

When we allow guest page faults to reach the guests directly, we lose
the fault tracking which allows us to detect demand paging. So we provide
an alternate mechnism by clearing the accessed bit when we set a pte, and
checking it later to see if the guest actually used it.

There are two classes of page faults trapped by kvm:
- host page faults, where the fault is needed to allow kvm to install
the shadow pte or update the guest accessed and dirty bits
- guest page faults, where the guest has faulted and kvm simply injects
the fault back into the guest to handle
The second class, guest page faults, is pure overhead. We can eliminate
some of it on vmx using the following evil trick:
- when we set up a shadow page table entry, if the corresponding guest pte
is not present, set up the shadow pte as not present
- if the guest pte _is_ present, mark the shadow pte as present but also
set one of the reserved bits in the shadow pte
- tell the vmx hardware not to trap faults which have the present bit clear
With this, normal page-not-present faults go directly to the guest,
bypassing kvm entirely.
Unfortunately, this trick only works on Intel hardware, as AMD lacks a
way to discriminate among page faults based on error code. It is also
a little risky since it uses reserved bits which might become unreserved
in the future, so a module parameter is provided to disable it.

Resetting an SMP guest will force AP enter real mode (RESET) with
paging enabled in protected mode. While current enter_rmode() can
only handle mode switch from nonpaging mode to real mode which leads
to SMP reboot failure.

Before preempt notifiers, kvm needed to allocate memory with GFP_NOWAIT so
as not to have to enable preemption and take a heavyweight exit. On oom, we'd
fall back to a GFP_KERNEL allocation.
With preemption notifiers, we can do a GFP_KERNEL allocation, and perform
the heavyweight exit only if the kernel decides to put us to sleep.

Current kvm disables preemption while the new virtualization registers are
in use. This of course is not very good for latency sensitive workloads (one
use of virtualization is to offload user interface and other latency
insensitive stuff to a container, so that it is easier to analyze the
remaining workload). This patch re-enables preemption for kvm; preemption
is now only disabled when switching the registers in and out, and during
the switch to guest mode and back.
