CPU_DYING is notified in atomic context, so no taking mutexes here.

KVM wants a notification when a cpu is about to die, so it can disable
hardware extensions, but at a time when user processes cannot be scheduled
on the cpu, so it doesn't try to use virtualization extensions after they
have been disabled.
This adds a CPU_DYING notification. The notification is called in atomic
context on the doomed cpu.

kvm uses a pseudo filesystem, kvmfs, to generate inodes, a job that the
new anonymous inodes source does much better.

This patch adds an implementation to the svm is_disabled function to
detect reliably if the BIOS disabled the SVM feature in the CPU. This
fixes the issues with kernel panics when loading the kvm-amd module on
machines where SVM is available but disabled.

A vmexit implicitly flushes the tlb; the code is bogus.

When writing to normal memory and the memory area is unchanged the write
can be safely skipped, avoiding the costly kvm_mmu_pte_write.

When the old value and new one are the same the emulator skips the
write; this is undesirable when the destination is a MMIO area and the
write shall be performed regardless of the previous value. This
optimization breaks e.g. a Linux guest APIC compiled without
X86_GOOD_APIC.
Remove the check and perform the writeback stage in the emulation unless
it's explicitly disabled (currently push and some 2 bytes instructions
may disable the writeback).

If the time stamp counter goes backwards, a guest delay loop can become
infinite. This can happen if a vcpu is migrated to another cpu, where
the counter has a lower value than the first cpu.
Since we're doing an IPI to the first cpu anyway, we can use that to pick
up the old tsc, and use that to calculate the adjustment we need to make
to the tsc offset.

When a vcpu causes a shadow tlb entry to have reduced permissions, it
must also clear the tlb on remote vcpus. We do that by:
- setting a bit on the vcpu that requests a tlb flush before the next entry
- if the vcpu is currently executing, we send an ipi to make sure it
exits before we continue

A vcpu can pin up to four mmu shadow pages, which means the freeing
loop will never terminate. Fix by first unpinning shadow pages on
all vcpus, then freeing shadow pages.

Switch guest paging context may require us to allocate memory, which
might fail. Instead of wiring up error paths everywhere, make context
switching lazy and actually do the switch before the next guest entry,
where we can return an error if allocation fails.

This was once used to avoid accessing the guest pte when upgrading
the shadow pte from read-only to read-write. But usually we need
to set the guest pte dirty or accessed bits anyway, so this wasn't
really exploited.

Always set the accessed and dirty bit (since having them cleared causes
a read-modify-write cycle), always set the present bit, and copy the
nx bit from the guest.

With guest smp, a second vcpu might see partial updates when the first
vcpu services a page fault. So delay all updates until we have figured
out what the pte should look like.
Note that on i386, this is still not completely atomic as a 64-bit write
will be split into two on a 32-bit machine.

MSR_EFER.LME/LMA bits are automatically save/restored by VMX
hardware, KVM only needs to save NX/SCE bits at time of heavy
weight VM Exit. But clearing NX bits in host envirnment may
cause system hang if the host page table is using EXB bits,
thus we leave NX bits as it is. If Host NX=1 and guest NX=0, we
can do guest page table EXB bits check before inserting a shadow
pte (though no guest is expecting to see this kind of gp fault).
If host NX=0, we present guest no Execute-Disable feature to guest,
thus no host NX=0, guest NX=1 combination.
This patch reduces raw vmexit time by ~27%.

In a lightweight exit (where we exit and reenter the guest without
scheduling or exiting to userspace in between), we don't need various
msrs on the host, and avoiding shuffling them around reduces raw exit
time by 8%.
