This patch lets GCC to determine which registers to save when we
switch to/from a VCPU in the case of intel i386.
* Original code saves following registers:
eax, ebx, ecx, edx, edi, esi, ebp (using popa)
* Patched code:
- informs GCC that we modify following registers
using the clobber description:
ebx, edi, rsi
- doesn't save eax because it is an output operand (vmx->fail)
- cannot put ecx in clobber description because it is an input operand,
but as we modify it and we want to keep its value (vcpu), we must
save it (pop/push)
- ebp is saved (pop/push) because GCC seems to ignore its use the clobber
description.
- edx is saved (pop/push) because it is reserved by GCC (REGPARM) and
cannot be put in the clobber description.
- line "mov (%%esp), %3 \n\t" has been removed because %3
is ecx and ecx is restored just after.

Currently kvm has a wart in that it requires three extra pages for use
as a tss when emulating real mode on Intel. This patch moves the allocation
internally, only requiring userspace to tell us where in the physical address
space we can place the tss.

Allocate a userspace buffer for older userspaces. Also eliminate phys_mem
buffer. The memset() in kvmctl really kills initial memory usage but swapping
works even with old userspaces.
A side effect is that maximum guest side is reduced for older userspace on
i386.

ppc and s390 offer the possibility to track process times precisely
by looking at cpu timer on every context switch, irq, softirq etc.
We can use that infrastructure as well for guest time accounting.
We need to account the used time before we change the state.
This patch adds a call to account_system_vtime to kvm_guest_enter
and kvm_guest exit. If CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING is not set,
account_system_vtime is defined in hardirq.h as an empty function,
which means this patch does not change the behaviour on other
platforms.
I compile tested this patch on x86 and function tested the patch on
s390.

This allows guest memory to be swapped. Pages which are currently mapped

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.

Simplify the walker level loop not to carry so much information from one
loop to the next. In addition to being complex, this made kmap_atomic()
critical sections difficult to manage.
As a result of this change, kmap_atomic() sections are limited to actually
touching the guest pte, which allows the other functions called from the
walker to do sleepy operations. This will happen when we enable swapping.

This patch splits kvm_vcpu_ioctl into archtecture independent parts, and
x86 specific parts which go to kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl in x86.c.
Common ioctls for all architectures are:
KVM_RUN, KVM_GET/SET_(S-)REGS, KVM_TRANSLATE, KVM_INTERRUPT,
KVM_DEBUG_GUEST, KVM_SET_SIGNAL_MASK, KVM_GET/SET_FPU
Note that some PPC chips don't have an FPU, so we might need an #ifdef
around KVM_GET/SET_FPU one day.
x86 specific ioctls are:
KVM_GET/SET_LAPIC, KVM_SET_CPUID, KVM_GET/SET_MSRS
An interresting aspect is vcpu_load/vcpu_put. We now have a common
vcpu_load/put which does the preemption stuff, and an architecture
specific kvm_arch_vcpu_load/put. In the x86 case, this one calls the
vmx/svm function defined in kvm_x86_ops.

When kvm uses user-allocated pages in the future for the guest, we won't

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.
