So far KVM only had basic x86 debug register support, once introduced to
realize guest debugging that way. The guest itself was not able to use
those registers.
This patch now adds (almost) full support for guest self-debugging via
hardware registers. It refactors the code, moving generic parts out of
SVM (VMX was already cleaned up by the KVM_SET_GUEST_DEBUG patches), and
it ensures that the registers are properly switched between host and
guest.
This patch also prepares debug register usage by the host. The latter
will (once wired-up by the following patch) allow for hardware
breakpoints/watchpoints in guest code. If this is enabled, the guest
will only see faked debug registers without functionality, but with
content reflecting the guest's modifications.
Tested on Intel only, but SVM /should/ work as well, but who knows...
Known limitations: Trapping on tss switch won't work - most probably on
Intel.
Credits also go to Joerg Roedel - I used his once posted debugging
series as platform for this patch.

This patch implements VMRUN. VMRUN enters a virtual CPU and runs that
in the same context as the normal guest CPU would run.
So basically it is implemented the same way, a normal CPU would do it.
We also prepare all intercepts that get OR'ed with the original
intercepts, as we do not allow a level 2 guest to be intercepted less
than the first level guest.
v2 implements the following improvements:
- fixes the CPL check
- does not allocate iopm when not used
- remembers the host's IF in the HIF bit in the hflags
v3:
- make use of the new permission checking
- add support for V_INTR_MASKING_MASK
v4:
- use host page backed hsave
v5:
- remove IOPM merging code
v6:
- save cr4 so PAE l1 guests work
v7:
- return 0 on vmrun so we check the MSRs too
- fix MSR check to use the correct variable

Implement the hsave MSR, that gives the VCPU a GPA to save the
old guest state in.
v2 allows userspace to save/restore hsave
v4 dummys out the hsave MSR, so we use a host page
v6 remembers the guest's hsave and exports the MSR

svm.h will be used by core code that is independent of KVM, so I am
moving it outside the arch/x86/kvm directory.

This patch changes the kvm-amd module to allocate the SVM MSR permission map
per VCPU instead of a global map for all VCPUs. With this we have more
flexibility allowing specific guests to access virtualized MSRs. This is
required for LBR virtualization.

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