This allows the mmu notifier code to run unalias_gfn with only the
mmu_lock held. Only alias writes need the mmu_lock held. Readers will
either take the slots_lock in read mode or the mmu_lock.

Alexey Dobriyan reported trouble with LTP with the new fast-gup code,
and Johannes Weiner debugged it to non-page-aligned addresses, where the
new get_user_pages_fast() code would do all the wrong things, including
just traversing past the end of the requested area due to 'addr' never
matching 'end' exactly.
This is not a pretty fix, and we may actually want to move the alignment
into generic code, leaving just the core code per-arch, but Alexey
verified that the vmsplice01 LTP test doesn't crash with this.

lguest uses a Waker process to break it out of the kernel (ie.
actually running the guest) when file descriptor needs attention.
Changing this from a process to a thread somewhat simplifies things:
it can directly access the fd_set of things to watch. More
importantly, it means that the Waker can see Guest memory correctly,
so /dev/vring file descriptors will work as anticipated (the
alternative is to actually mmap MAP_SHARED, but you can't do that with
/dev/zero).

Since the correct timeout value varies, use a heuristic which adjusts
the timeout depending on how many packets we've seen. This gives
slightly worse results, but doesn't need tweaking when GSO is
introduced.
500 usec 19.1887 xmit 561141 recv 1 timeout 559657
Dynamic (278) 20.1974 xmit 214510 recv 5 timeout 214491 usec 278

virtio_ring has the ability to suppress notifications. This prevents
a guest exit for every packet, but we need to set a timer on packet
receipt to re-check if there were any remaining packets.
Here are the times for 1G TCP Guest->Host with different timeout
settings (it matters because the TCP window doesn't grow big enough to
fill the entire buffer):
Timeout value Seconds Xmit/Recv/Timeout
None (before) 25.3784 xmit 7750233 recv 1
2500 usec 62.5119 xmit 207020 recv 2 timeout 207020
1000 usec 34.5379 xmit 207003 recv 2 timeout 207003
750 usec 29.2305 xmit 207002 recv 1 timeout 207002
500 usec 19.1887 xmit 561141 recv 1 timeout 559657
250 usec 20.0465 xmit 214128 recv 2 timeout 214110
100 usec 19.2583 xmit 561621 recv 1 timeout 560153
(Note that these values are sensitive to the GSO patches which come
later, and probably other traffic-related variables, so take with a
large grain of salt).

This is a simple patch to add support for the virtio "hardware random
generator" to lguest. It gets about 1.2 MB/sec reading from /dev/hwrng

If you've got a nice DHCP configuration which maps MAC
addresses to specific IP addresses, then you're going to
want to start your guest with one of those MAC addresses.
Also, in Fedora, we have persistent network interface naming
based on the MAC address, so with randomly assigned
addresses you're soon going to hit eth13. Who knows what
will happen then!
Allow assigning a MAC address to the network interface with
e.g.
--tunnet=bridge:eth0:00:FF:95:6B:DA:3D
or:
--tunnet=192.168.121.1:00:FF:95:6B:DA:3D
which is pretty unintelligable, but ...

Ron Minnich noticed that guest userspace gets a GPF when it tries to int3:
we need to copy the privilege level from the guest-supplied IDT to the real
IDT. int3 is the only common case where guest userspace expects to invoke
an interrupt, so that's the symptom of failing to do this.

6af61a7614 'x86: clean up max_pfn_mapped
usage - 32-bit' makes the following comment:
XEN PV and lguest may need to assign max_pfn_mapped too.
But no CC. Yinghai, wasting fellow developers' time is a VERY bad
habit. If you do it again, I will hunt you down and try to extract
the three hours of my life I just lost :)
