As we execute real mode guests in VM86 mode, exception have to be
reinjected appropriately when the guest triggered them. For this purpose
the patch adopts the real-mode injection pattern used in vmx_inject_irq
to vmx_queue_exception, additionally taking care that the IP is set
correctly for #BP exceptions. Furthermore it extends
handle_rmode_exception to reinject all those exceptions that can be
raised in real mode.
This fixes the execution of himem.exe from FreeDOS and also makes its
debug.com work properly.
Note that guest debugging in real mode is broken now. This has to be
fixed by the scheduled debugging infrastructure rework (will be done
once base patches for QEMU have been accepted).

Instead of looking at failed injections in the vm entry path, move
processing to the exit path in vmx_complete_interrupts(). This simplifes
the logic and removes any state that is hidden in vmx registers.

The vmx code assumes that IDT-Vectoring can only be set when an exception
is injected due to the exception in question. That's not true, however:
if the exception is injected correctly, and later another exception occurs
but its delivery is blocked due to a fault, then we will incorrectly assume
the first exception was not delivered.
Fix by unconditionally dequeuing the pending exception, and requeuing it
(or the second exception) if we see it in the IDT-Vectoring field.

Instead of processing nmi injection failure in the vm entry path, move
it to the vm exit path (vm_complete_interrupts()). This separates nmi
injection from nmi post-processing, and moves the nmi state from the VT
state into vcpu state (new variable nmi_injected specifying an injection
in progress).

Currently most interrupt exit processing is handled on the entry path,
which is confusing. Move the NMI IRET fault processing to a new function,

As suggested by Avi, introduce accessors to read/write guest registers.
This simplifies the ->cache_regs/->decache_regs interface, and improves
register caching which is important for VMX, where the cost of
vmcs_read/vmcs_write is significant.

When an event (such as an interrupt) is injected, and the stack is
shadowed (and therefore write protected), the guest will exit. The
current code will see that the stack is shadowed and emulate a few
instructions, each time postponing the injection. Eventually the
injection may succeed, but at that time the guest may be unwilling
to accept the interrupt (for example, the TPR may have changed).
This occurs every once in a while during a Windows 2008 boot.
Fix by unshadowing the fault address if the fault was due to an event
injection.

VMX hardware can cache the contents of a vcpu's vmcs. This cache needs
to be flushed when migrating a vcpu to another cpu, or (which is the case
that interests us here) when disabling hardware virtualization on a cpu.
The current implementation of decaching iterates over the list of all vcpus,
picks the ones that are potentially cached on the cpu that is being offlined,
and flushes the cache. The problem is that it uses mutex_trylock() to gain
exclusive access to the vcpu, which fires off a (benign) warning about using
the mutex in an interrupt context.
To avoid this, and to make things generally nicer, add a new per-cpu list
of potentially cached vcus. This makes the decaching code much simpler. The
list is vmx-specific since other hardware doesn't have this issue.

KVM turns off hardware virtualization extensions during reboot, in order
to disassociate the memory used by the virtualization extensions from the
processor, and in order to have the system in a consistent state.
Unfortunately virtual machines may still be running while this goes on,
and once virtualization extensions are turned off, any virtulization
instruction will #UD on execution.
Fix by adding an exception handler to virtualization instructions; if we get
an exception during reboot, we simply spin waiting for the reset to complete.
If it's a true exception, BUG() so we can have our stack trace.

Switching msrs can occur either synchronously as a result of calls to
the msr management functions (usually in response to the guest touching
virtualized msrs), or asynchronously when preempting a kvm thread that has
guest state loaded. If we're unlucky enough to have the two at the same
time, host msrs are corrupted and the machine goes kaput on the next syscall.
Most easily triggered by Windows Server 2008, as it does a lot of msr
switching during bootup.

VMware Workstation 6.5 checks CR4.VMXE as a proxy for whether the CPU is
