Dear all,

This series aims to provide an entrypoint for, and fuzz KVM's x86 instruction
emulator from userspace.  It mirrors Xen's application of the AFL fuzzer to
it's instruction emulator in the hopes of discovering vulnerabilities.
Since this entrypoint also allows arbitrary execution of the emulators code
from userspace, it may also be useful for testing.

The current 4 patches build the emulator and 2 harnesses: simple-harness is
an example of unit testing; afl-harness is a frontend for the AFL fuzzer.

Patches
=======

- 01: Builds and links afl-harness with the required kernel objects.
- 02: Introduces the minimal set of emulator operations and supporting code
to emulate simple instructions.
- 03: Demonstrates simple-harness as a unit test.
- 04: Adds scripts for install, running, and crash triage.

Any comments/suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Best,
Sam Caccavale
