Converting a frame number to an address is tricky since the data type changes
size. Introduce a function to do it. This fixes an actual bug when
accessing guest ptes.

If all we're doing is increasing permissions on a pte (typical for demand
paging), then there's not need to flush remote tlbs. Worst case they'll
get a spurious page fault.

I spent an hour worrying why I see so many guest page faults on FC6 i386.
Turns out bypass wasn't implemented for nonpae. Implement it so it doesn't
happen again.

Split kvm_arch_vcpu_create() into kvm_arch_vcpu_create() and
kvm_arch_vcpu_setup(), enabling preemption notification between the two.
This mean that we can now do vcpu_load() within kvm_arch_vcpu_setup().

Instead of incrementally changing the mmu cache size for every memory slot
operation, recalculate it from scratch. This is simpler and safer.

Instead of fetching one byte at a time, prefetch 15 bytes (or until the next
page boundary) to avoid guest page table walks.

Theoretically used to acccess memory known to be ordinary RAM, it was
never implemented. It is questionable whether it is possible to implement
it correctly.

Improve dirty bit setting for pages that kvm release, until now every page
that we released we marked dirty, from now only pages that have potential
to get dirty we mark dirty.

When we map a page, we check whether some other vcpu mapped it for us and if
so, bail out. But we should decrease the refcount on the page as we do so.
