This patch series introduces system management mode support.
There is still some work to do, namely: test without unrestricted
guest support, test on AMD, disable the capability if !unrestricted
guest and !emulate invalid guest state(*), test with a QEMU that
understand KVM_MEM_X86_SMRAM, actually post QEMU patches that let
you use this.

	(*) newer chipsets moved away from legacy SMRAM at 0xa0000,
	    thus support for real mode CS base above 1M is necessary

Because legacy SMRAM is a mess, I have tried these patches with Q35's
high SMRAM (at 0xfeda0000).  This means that right now this isn't
the easiest thing to test; you need QEMU patches that add support
for high SMRAM, and SeaBIOS patches to use high SMRAM.  Until QEMU
support for KVM_MEM_X86_SMRAM is in place, also, I'm keeping SMRAM
open in SeaBIOS.

That said, even this clumsy and incomplete userspace configuration is
enough to test all patches except 11 and 12.

The series is structured as follows.

Patch 1 is an unrelated bugfix (I think).  Patches 2 to 6 extend some
infrastructure functions.  Patches 1 to 4 could be committed right now.

Patches 7 to 9 implement basic support for SMM in the KVM API
and teach KVM about doing the world switch on SMI and RSM.

Patch 10 touches all places in KVM that read/write guest memory to
go through an x86-specific function.  The x86-specific function takes
a VCPU rather than a struct kvm.  This is used in patches 11 and 12
to limits access to specially marked SMRAM slots unless the VCPU is
in system management mode.

Finally, patch 13 exposes the new capability for userspace to probe.
