[RFC PATCH 2/2] KVM: x86: use __kvm_guest_exit

[Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>]

This gains ~20 clock cycles per vmexit.  On Intel there is no need
anymore to enable the interrupts in vmx_handle_external_intr, since we
are using the "acknowledge interrupt on exit" feature.  AMD needs to do
that temporarily, and must be careful to avoid the interrupt shadow.
