Attempting to boot the default 'bsd' kernel of OpenBSD 4.1 i386 in a guest
fails early in the kernel init inside p3_get_bus_clock while trying to read
the IA32_EBL_CR_POWERON MSR. KVM logs an 'unhandled MSR' message and the
guest kernel faults.
This patch is sufficient to allow OpenBSD to boot, after which it seems to
run fine. I'm not sure if this is the correct solution for dealing with
this particular MSR, but it works for me.

The lightweight vmexit path avoids saving and reloading certain host
state. However in certain cases lightweight vmexit handling can schedule()
which requires reloading the host state.
So we store the host state in the vcpu structure, and reloaded it if we
relinquish the vcpu.

A typical demand page/copy on write pattern is:
- page fault on vaddr
- kvm propagates fault to guest
- guest handles fault, updates pte
- kvm traps write, clears shadow pte, resumes guest
- guest returns to userspace, re-faults on same vaddr
- kvm installs shadow pte, resumes guest
- guest continues
So, three vmexits for a single guest page fault. But if instead of clearing
the page table entry, we update to correspond to the value that the guest
has just written, we eliminate the third vmexit.
This patch does exactly that, reducing kbuild time by about 10%.

When a guest writes to a page that has an mmu shadow, we have to clear
the shadow pte corresponding to the memory location touched by the guest.
Now, in nonpae mode, a single guest page may have two or four shadow
pages (because a nonpae page maps 4MB or 4GB, whereas the pae shadow maps
2MB or 1GB), so we when we look up the page we find up to three additional
aliases for the page. Since we _clear_ the shadow pte, it doesn't matter
except for a slight performance penalty, but if we want to _update_ the
shadow pte instead of clearing it, it is vital that we don't modify the
aliases.
Fortunately, exactly which page is needed (the "quadrant") is easily
computed, and is accessible in the shadow page header. All we need is
to ignore shadow pages from the wrong quadrants.

i386 wants fs for accessing the pda even on a lightweight exit, so ensure
we can always restore it. This fixes a regression on i386 introduced by
the lightweight vmexit patch.

The kvm mmu tries to detects forks by looking for repeated writes to a
page table. If it sees a fork, it unshadows the page table so the page
table copying can proceed at native speed instead of being emulated.
However, the detector also triggered on simple demand paging access patterns:
a linear walk of memory would of course cause repeated writes to the same
pagetable page, causing it to unshadow prematurely.
Fix by resetting the fork detector if we detect a demand fault.

Many msrs and the like will only be used by the host if we schedule() or
return to userspace. Therefore, we avoid saving them if we handle the
exit within the kernel, and if a reschedule is not requested.

fixes by me.

This patch enables IO bitmaps control on vmx and unmask the 0x80 port to
avoid VMEXITs caused by accessing port 0x80. 0x80 is used as delays (see
include/asm/io.h), and handling VMEXITs on its access is unnecessary but
slows things down. This patch improves kernel build test at around
3%~5%.
Because every VM uses the same io bitmap, it is shared between
all VMs rather than a per-VM data structure.

It depends on tristate I2C and it's trivial to make modular. The
current Kconfig allows I2C=m, I2C_ACORN=y, which doesn't work at
all; alternatives are dependency on I2C=y and making I2C_ACORN
itself a tristate. The latter is the right thing to do...

Clean up pda_power interrupt handling:
Prior to this patch, the driver would pass information it needed
to the interrupt handler dev_id pointer, and then prompt forget it
ever did so, recreating that same information after a couple passes
through the timer-based state machine.
This patch removes the redundant checks by passing the
pda_power_supply[] pointer through the state machine. The current
code passed 'irq' through the state machine, as an index to recreate
the pointer, when we could more simply pass around the pointer itself.
This patch makes it easier to remove the 'irq' argument in the future,
in addition to cleaning up the driver today.
