Context switches and TLB flushes can change individual bits of CR4.
CR4 reads take several cycles, so store a shadow copy of CR4 in a
per-cpu variable.
To avoid wasting a cache line, I added the CR4 shadow to
cpu_tlbstate, which is already touched in switch_mm. The heaviest
users of the cr4 shadow will be switch_mm and __switch_to_xtra, and
__switch_to_xtra is called shortly after switch_mm during context
switch, so the cacheline is likely to be hot.

CR4 manipulation was split, seemingly at random, between direct
(write_cr4) and using a helper (set/clear_in_cr4). Unfortunately,
the set_in_cr4 and clear_in_cr4 helpers also poke at the boot code,
which only a small subset of users actually wanted.
This patch replaces all cr4 access in functions that don't leave cr4
exactly the way they found it with new helpers cr4_set_bits,
cr4_clear_bits, and cr4_set_bits_and_update_boot.

MSR_EFER_SVME_MASK, MSR_VM_CR and MSR_VM_HSAVE_PA are set in KVM
specific headers. Linux does have nice header files to collect
EFER bits and MSR IDs, so IMHO we should put them there.
While at it, I also changed the naming scheme to match that
of the other defines.

This function can be used by the reboot or kdump code to forcibly
disable SVM on the CPU.

Use a trick to keep the printk()s on has_svm() working as before. gcc
will take care of not generating code for the 'msg' stuff when the
function is called with a NULL msg argument.

Unfortunately we can't use exactly the same code from vmx
hardware_disable(), because the KVM function uses the
__kvm_handle_fault_on_reboot() tricks.
