If KVM sees a read-only host page, it will map it as read-only to prevent
breaking a COW. However, if the page was part of a large guest page, KVM
incorrectly extends the write protection to the entire large page frame
instead of limiting it to the normal host page.
This results in the instantiation of a new shadow page with read-only access.
If this happens for a MOVS instruction that moves memory between two normal
pages, within a single large page frame, and mapped within the guest as a
large page, and if, in addition, the source operand is not writeable in the
host (perhaps due to KSM), then KVM will instantiate a read-only direct
shadow page, instantiate an spte for the source operand, then instantiate
a new read/write direct shadow page and instantiate an spte for the
destination operand. Since these two sptes are in different shadow pages,
MOVS will never see them at the same time and the guest will not make
progress.
Fix by mapping the direct shadow page read/write, and only marking the
host page read-only.

This patch implements the xsetbv intercept to the AMD part
of KVM. This makes AVX usable in a save way for the guest on
AVX capable AMD hardware.
The patch is tested by using AVX in the guest and host in
parallel and checking for data corruption. I also used the
KVM xsave unit-tests and they all pass.

Large page information has two elements but one of them, write_count, alone
is accessed by a helper function.
This patch replaces this helper function with more generic one which returns
newly named kvm_lpage_info structure and use it to access the other element
rmap_pde.

In certain use-cases, we want to allocate guests fixed time slices where idle
guest cycles leave the machine idling. There are many approaches to achieve
this but the most direct is to simply avoid trapping the HLT instruction which
lets the guest directly execute the instruction putting the processor to sleep.
Introduce this as a module-level option for kvm-vmx.ko since if you do this
for one guest, you probably want to do it for all.
