Enable Intel(R) Advanced Vector Extension(AVX) for guest.
The detection of AVX feature includes OSXSAVE bit testing. When OSXSAVE bit is
not set, even if AVX is supported, the AVX instruction would result in UD as
well. So we're safe to expose AVX bits to guest directly.

If a process with a memory slot is COWed, the page will change its address
(despite having an elevated reference count). This breaks internal memory
slots which have their physical addresses loaded into vmcs registers (see
the APIC access memory slot).

On Intel, we call skip_emulated_instruction() even if we injected a #GP,
resulting in the #GP pointing at the wrong address.
Fix by injecting the exception and skipping the instruction at the same place,
so we can do just one or the other.

Currently emulator returns -1 when emulation failed or IO is needed.
Caller tries to guess whether emulation failed by looking at other
variables. Make it easier for caller to recognise error condition by
always returning -1 in case of failure. For this new emulator
internal return value X86EMUL_IO_NEEDED is introduced. It is used to
distinguish between error condition (which returns X86EMUL_UNHANDLEABLE)
and condition that requires IO exit to userspace to continue emulation.

cr0.ts may change between entries, so we copy cr0 to HOST_CR0 before each
entry. That is slow, so instead, set HOST_CR0 to have TS set unconditionally
(which is a safe value), and issue a clts() just before exiting vcpu context
if the task indeed owns the fpu.
Saves ~50 cycles/exit.

Although we always allocate a new dirty bitmap in x86's get_dirty_log(),
it is only used as a zero-source of copy_to_user() and freed right after
that when memslot is clean. This patch uses clear_user() instead of doing
this unnecessary zero-source allocation.
Performance improvement: as we can expect easily, the time needed to
allocate a bitmap is completely reduced. In my test, the improved ioctl
was about 4 to 10 times faster than the original one for clean slots.
Furthermore, reducing memory allocations and copies will produce good
effects to caches too.

Right now, we were using individual KVM_CAP entities to communicate
userspace about which cpuids we support. This is suboptimal, since it
generates a delay between the feature arriving in the host, and
being available at the guest.
A much better mechanism is to list para features in KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID.
This makes userspace automatically aware of what we provide. And if we
ever add a new cpuid bit in the future, we have to do that again,
which create some complexity and delay in feature adoption.
