This patch fixes a small issue where sturctures:
kvm_pic_state
kvm_ioapic_state
are defined inside x86 specific code and may or may not
be defined in anyway for other architectures. The problem
caused is one cannot compile userspace apps (ex. libkvm)
for other archs since a size cannot be determined for these
structures.

cmps and scas instructions accept repeat prefixes F3 and F2. So in
order to emulate those prefixed instructions we need to be able to know
if prefixes are REP/REPE/REPZ or REPNE/REPNZ. Currently kvm doesn't make
this distinction. This patch introduces this distinction.

The current cpuid management suffers from several problems, which inhibit
passing through the host feature set to the guest:
- No way to tell which features the host supports
While some features can be supported with no changes to kvm, others
need explicit support. That means kvm needs to vet the feature set
before it is passed to the guest.
- No support for indexed or stateful cpuid entries
Some cpuid entries depend on ecx as well as on eax, or on internal
state in the processor (running cpuid multiple times with the same
input returns different output). The current cpuid machinery only
supports keying on eax.
- No support for save/restore/migrate
The internal state above needs to be exposed to userspace so it can
be saved or migrated.
This patch adds extended cpuid support by means of three new ioctls:
- KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID: get all cpuid entries the host (and kvm)
supports
- KVM_SET_CPUID2: sets the vcpu's cpuid table
- KVM_GET_CPUID2: gets the vcpu's cpuid table, including hidden state
[avi: fix original KVM_SET_CPUID not removing nx on non-nx hosts as it did
before]

Converting a frame number to an address is tricky since the data type changes
size. Introduce a function to do it. This fixes an actual bug when

If all we're doing is increasing permissions on a pte (typical for demand
paging), then there's not need to flush remote tlbs. Worst case they'll
get a spurious page fault.

This mean that we can now do vcpu_load() within kvm_arch_vcpu_setup().
