Mapping a guest page to a host page is a common operation.  Currently,
one has first to find the memory slot where the page belongs (gfn_to_memslot),
then locate the page itself (gfn_to_page()).

This is clumsy, and also won't work well with memory aliases.  So simplify
gfn_to_page() not to require memory slot translation first, and instead do it
internally.

As usual, we need to mangle segment registers when emulating real mode
as vm86 has specific constraints.  We special case the reset segment base,
and set the "access rights" (or descriptor flags) to vm86 comaptible values.

This fixes reboot on vmx.

set_cr0_no_modeswitch() was a hack to avoid corrupting segment registers.
As we now cache the protected mode values on entry to real mode, this
isn't an issue anymore, and it interferes with reboot (which usually _is_
a modeswitch).

The reset state has cs.selector == 0xf000 and cs.base == 0xffff0000,
which aren't compatible with vm86 mode, which is used for real mode
virtualization.

When we create a vcpu, we set cs.base to 0xf0000, but if we get there by
way of a reset, the values are inconsistent and vmx refuses to enter
guest mode.

Workaround by detecting the state and munging it appropriately.

The current string pio interface communicates using guest virtual addresses,
relying on userspace to translate addresses and to check permissions.  This
interface cannot fully support guest smp, as the check needs to take into
account two pages at one in case an unaligned string transfer straddles a
page boundary.

Change the interface not to communicate guest addresses at all; instead use
a buffer page (mmaped by userspace) and do transfers there.  The kernel
manages the virtual to physical translation and can perform the checks
atomically by taking the appropriate locks.

KVM used to handle cpuid by letting userspace decide what values to
return to the guest.  We now handle cpuid completely in the kernel.  We
still let userspace decide which values the guest will see by having
userspace set up the value table beforehand (this is necessary to allow
management software to set the cpu features to the least common denominator,
so that live migration can work).

The motivation for the change is that kvm kernel code can be impacted by
cpuid features, for example the x86 emulator.

Currently when passing the a PIO emulation request to userspace, we
rely on userspace updating %rax (on 'in' instructions) and %rsi/%rdi/%rcx
(on string instructions).  This (a) requires two extra ioctls for getting
and setting the registers and (b) is unfriendly to non-x86 archs, when
they get kvm ports.

So fix by doing the register fixups in the kernel and passing to userspace
only an abstract description of the PIO to be done.

failed VM entry on VMX might still change %fs or %gs, thus make sure

'current' depends and x86_64 has 0 there and needs MSR_GS_BASE to work.

Intel virtualization extensions do not support virtualizing real mode.  So
kvm uses virtualized vm86 mode to run real mode code.  Unfortunately, this
virtualized vm86 mode does not support the so called "big real" mode, where
the segment selector and base do not agree with each other according to the
real mode rules (base == selector << 4).

To work around this, kvm checks whether a selector/base pair violates the
virtualized vm86 rules, and if so, forces it into conformance.  On a
transition back to protected mode, if we see that the guest did not touch
a forced segment, we restore it back to the original protected mode value.

This pile of hacks breaks down if the gdt has changed in real mode, as it
can cause a segment selector to point to a system descriptor instead of a
normal data segment.  In fact, this happens with the Windows bootloader
and the qemu acpi bios, where a protected mode memcpy routine issues an
innocent 'pop %es' and traps on an attempt to load a system descriptor.

"Fix" by checking if the to-be-restored selector points at a system segment,
and if so, coercing it into a normal data segment.  The long term solution,
of course, is to abandon vm86 mode and use emulation for big real mode.

Allocate a distinct inode for every vcpu in a VM.  This has the following
benefits:

 - the filp cachelines are no longer bounced when f_count is incremented on
   every ioctl()
 - the API and internal code are distinctly clearer; for example, on the
   KVM_GET_REGS ioctl, there is no need to copy the vcpu number from
   userspace and then copy the registers back; the vcpu identity is derived
   from the fd used to make the call

Right now the performance benefits are completely theoretical since (a) we
don't support more than one vcpu per VM and (b) virtualization hardware
inefficiencies completely everwhelm any cacheline bouncing effects.  But
both of these will change, and we need to prepare the API today.

Convert the PDA code to use %fs rather than %gs as the segment for
per-processor data.  This is because some processors show a small but
measurable performance gain for reloading a NULL segment selector (as %fs
generally is in user-space) versus a non-NULL one (as %gs generally is).

On modern processors the difference is very small, perhaps undetectable.
Some old AMD "K6 3D+" processors are noticably slower when %fs is used
rather than %gs; I have no idea why this might be, but I think they're
sufficiently rare that it doesn't matter much.

This patch also fixes the math emulator, which had not been adjusted to
match the changed struct pt_regs.

The kvm mmio read path looks like:

 1. guest read faults
 2. kvm emulates read, calls emulator_read_emulated()
 3. fails as a read requires userspace help
 4. exit to userspace
 5. userspace emulates read, kvm sets vcpu->mmio_read_completed
 6. re-enter guest, fault again
 7. kvm emulates read, calls emulator_read_emulated()
 8. succeeds as vcpu->mmio_read_emulated is set
 9. instruction completes and guest is resumed

A problem surfaces if the userspace exit (step 5) also requests an interrupt
injection.  In that case, the guest does not re-execute the original
instruction, but the interrupt handler.  The next time an mmio read is
exectued (likely for a different address), step 3 will find
vcpu->mmio_read_completed set and return the value read for the original
instruction.

The problem manifested itself in a few annoying ways:
- little squares appear randomly on console when switching virtual terminals
- ne2000 fails under nfs read load
- rtl8139 complains about "pci errors" even though the device model is
  incapable of issuing them.

Fix by skipping interrupt injection if an mmio read is pending.

A better fix is to avoid re-entry into the guest, and re-emulating immediately
instead.  However that's a bit more complex.
