Convert the PDA code to use %fs rather than %gs as the segment for
per-processor data. This is because some processors show a small but
measurable performance gain for reloading a NULL segment selector (as %fs
generally is in user-space) versus a non-NULL one (as %gs generally is).
On modern processors the difference is very small, perhaps undetectable.
Some old AMD "K6 3D+" processors are noticably slower when %fs is used
rather than %gs; I have no idea why this might be, but I think they're
sufficiently rare that it doesn't matter much.
This patch also fixes the math emulator, which had not been adjusted to
match the changed struct pt_regs.

- it is faster on larger smps by virtue of using smp_call_function_single()

Check pte permission bits in walk_addr(), instead of scattering the checks all
over the code. This has the following benefits:
1. We no longer set the accessed bit for accessed which fail permission checks.
2. Setting the accessed bit is simplified.
3. Under some circumstances, we used to pretend a page fault was fixed when
it would actually fail the access checks. This caused an unnecessary
vmexit.
4. The error code for guest page faults is now correct.
The fix helps netbsd further along booting, and allows kvm to pass the new mmu

If a page is marked as dirty in the guest pte, set_pte_common() can set the
writable bit on newly-instantiated shadow pte. This optimization avoids
a write fault after the initial read fault.
However, if a write fault instantiates the pte, fix_write_pf() incorrectly
reports the fault as a guest page fault, and the guest oopses on what appears
to be a correctly-mapped page.
Fix is to detect the condition and only report a guest page fault on a user
access to a kernel page.
With the fix, a kvm guest can survive a whole night of running the kernel
hacker's screensaver (make -j9 in a loop).

The various bit string instructions (bts, btc, etc.) fail to adjust the
address correctly if the bit address is beyond BITS_PER_LONG.
This bug creeped in as the emulator originally relied on cr2 to contain the
memory address; however we now decode it from the mod r/m bits, and must
adjust the offset to account for large bit indices.
The patch is rather large because it switches src and dst decoding around, so
that the bit index is available when decoding the memory address.
This fixes workloads like the FC5 installer.

The kvm mmio read path looks like:
1. guest read faults
2. kvm emulates read, calls emulator_read_emulated()
3. fails as a read requires userspace help
4. exit to userspace
5. userspace emulates read, kvm sets vcpu->mmio_read_completed
6. re-enter guest, fault again
7. kvm emulates read, calls emulator_read_emulated()
8. succeeds as vcpu->mmio_read_emulated is set
9. instruction completes and guest is resumed
A problem surfaces if the userspace exit (step 5) also requests an interrupt
injection. In that case, the guest does not re-execute the original
instruction, but the interrupt handler. The next time an mmio read is
exectued (likely for a different address), step 3 will find
vcpu->mmio_read_completed set and return the value read for the original
instruction.
The problem manifested itself in a few annoying ways:
- little squares appear randomly on console when switching virtual terminals
- ne2000 fails under nfs read load
- rtl8139 complains about "pci errors" even though the device model is
incapable of issuing them.
Fix by skipping interrupt injection if an mmio read is pending.
A better fix is to avoid re-entry into the guest, and re-emulating immediately
instead. However that's a bit more complex.
