[PATCH] KVM: x86: VMX: Make smaller physical guest address space support user-configurable

[Mohammed Gamal <mgamal@redhat.com>]

This patch exposes allow_smaller_maxphyaddr to the user as a module parameter.

Since smaller physical address spaces are only supported on VMX, the parameter
is only exposed in the kvm_intel module.
Modifications to VMX page fault and EPT violation handling will depend on whether
that parameter is enabled.

Also disable support by default, and let the user decide if they want to enable
it.
