This patch adds a tracepoint for the event that the guest
executed the SKINIT instruction. This information is
important because SKINIT is an SVM extenstion not yet
implemented by nested SVM and we may need this information
for debugging hypervisors that do not yet run on nested SVM.

The nested SVM code emulates a #vmexit caused by a request
to open the irq window right in the request function. This
is a bug because the request function runs with preemption
and interrupts disabled but the #vmexit emulation might
sleep. This can cause a schedule()-while-atomic bug and is
fixed with this patch.

If event_inj is valid on a #vmexit the host CPU would write
the contents to exit_int_info, so the hypervisor knows that
the event wasn't injected.
We don't do this in nested SVM by now which is a bug and
fixed by this patch.

Much of so far vendor-specific code for setting up guest debug can
actually be handled by the generic code. This also fixes a minor deficit
in the SVM part /wrt processing KVM_GUESTDBG_ENABLE.

Both VMX and SVM require per-cpu memory allocation, which is done at module
init time, for only online cpus.
Backend was not allocating enough structure for all possible CPUs, so
new CPUs coming online could not be hardware enabled.

X86 CPUs need to have some magic happening to enable the virtualization
extensions on them. This magic can result in unpleasant results for
users, like blocking other VMMs from working (vmx) or using invalid TLB
entries (svm).
Currently KVM activates virtualization when the respective kernel module
is loaded. This blocks us from autoloading KVM modules without breaking
other VMMs.
To circumvent this problem at least a bit, this patch introduces on
demand activation of virtualization. This means, that instead
virtualization is enabled on creation of the first virtual machine
and disabled on destruction of the last one.
So using this, KVM can be easily autoloaded, while keeping other
hypervisors usable.

When svm_vcpu_load is called while the vcpu is running in
guest mode the tsc adjustment made there is lost on the next
emulated #vmexit. This causes the tsc running backwards in
the guest. This patch fixes the issue by also adjusting the
tsc_offset in the emulated hsave area so that it will not
get lost.
