According to Intel Software Developer's Manual, Vol. 3B, Appendix H.4.2,
exit qualification should be of natural width. However, current code
uses u64 as the data type for this register, which occasionally
introduces invalid value to VMExit handling logics. This patch fixes
this bug.
I have tested Windows and Linux guest on i386 host, and they can boot
successfully with this patch.

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.

The mutex->splinlock convertion alllows us to make some code simplifications.
As we can keep the lock longer, we don't have to release it and then
have to check if the environment has not been modified before re-taking it. We
can remove kvm->busy and kvm->memory_config_version.

This patch adds a new vcpu-based IOCTL to save and restore the local
apic registers for a single vcpu. The kernel only copies the apic page as
a whole, extraction of registers is left to userspace side. On restore, the
APIC timer is restarted from the initial count, this introduces a little
delay, but works fine.

Because lightweight exits (exits which don't involve userspace) are many
times faster than heavyweight exits, it makes sense to emulate high usage
devices in the kernel. The local APIC is one such device, especially for
Windows and for SMP, so we add an APIC model to kvm.
It also allows in-kernel host-side drivers to inject interrupts without
going through userspace.

We need to check for signals inside the critical section, otherwise a

before entry, so that if the signal happens before the first entry,
we exit immediately instead of waiting for something to happen to the

Both vmx and svm decode the I/O instructions, and both botch the job,
requiring the instruction prefixes to be fetched in order to completely
decode the instruction.
So, if we see a string I/O instruction, use the x86 emulator to decode it,
as it already has all the prefix decoding machinery.
This patch defines ins/outs opcodes in x86_emulate.c and calls
emulate_instruction() from io_interception() (svm.c) and from handle_io()
(vmx.c). It removes all vmx/svm prefix instruction decoders
(get_addr_size(), io_get_override(), io_address(), get_io_count())
