rr (http://rr-project.org/), a Linux userspace record-and-replay reverse-
execution debugger, would like to trap and emulate the CPUID instruction.
This would allow us to a) mask away certain hardware features that rr does
not support (e.g. RDRAND) and b) enable trace portability across machines
by providing constant results. Patches for support in the Linux kernel are in
flight, and we'd like to be able to use this feature on virtualized Linux
instances as well.

Changes since v4:
- Renamed cpuid_fault to cpuid_faulting across the patch.
- Various style nits.
- Added Reviewed-by Kevin Tian.

While we're here, use bool instead of bool_t.

On HVM guests, the cpuid triggers a vm exit, so we can check the emulated
faulting state in vmx_do_cpuid and hvmemul_cpuid. A new function,
hvm_check_cpuid_fault will check if cpuid faulting is enabled and the CPL > 0.
When it returns true, the cpuid handling functions will inject a GP(0). Notably
explicit hardware support for faulting on cpuid is not necessary to emulate
support for an HVM guest.

On PV guests, hardware support is required so that userspace cpuid will trap
to Xen. Xen already enables cpuid faulting on supported CPUs for pv guests (that
aren't the control domain, see the comment in intel_ctxt_switch_levelling).
Every PV guest cpuid will trap via a GP(0) to emulate_privileged_op (via
do_general_protection). Once there we simply decline to emulate cpuid if the
CPL > 0 and faulting is enabled, leaving the GP(0) for the guest kernel to
handle.
