If emulate_invalid_guest_state is enabled, the emulator is called
when guest state is invalid. Until now, we reported an mmio failure
when emulate_instruction() returned EMULATE_DO_MMIO. This patch adds
the case where emulate_instruction() failed and an MMIO emulation
is needed.

If we call the emulator we shouldn't call skip_emulated_instruction()
in the first place, since the emulator already computes the next rip
for us. Thus we move ->skip_emulated_instruction() out of
kvm_emulate_pio() and into handle_io() (and the svm equivalent). We
also replaced "return 0" by "break" in the "do_io:" case because now
the shadow register state needs to be committed. Otherwise eip will never
be updated.

GUEST_PAT support is a new feature introduced by Intel Core i7 architecture.
With this, cpu would save/load guest and host PAT automatically, for EPT memory
type in guest depends on MSR_IA32_CR_PAT.
Also add save/restore for MSR_IA32_CR_PAT.

Older VMX supporting CPUs do not provide the "Virtual NMI" feature for
tracking the NMI-blocked state after injecting such events. For now
KVM is unable to inject NMIs on those CPUs.
Derived from Sheng Yang's suggestion to use the IRQ window notification
for detecting the end of NMI handlers, this patch implements virtual
NMI support without impact on the host's ability to receive real NMIs.
The downside is that the given approach requires some heuristics that
can cause NMI nesting in vary rare corner cases.
The approach works as follows:
- inject NMI and set a software-based NMI-blocked flag
- arm the IRQ window start notification whenever an NMI window is
requested
- if the guest exits due to an opening IRQ window, clear the emulated
NMI-blocked flag
- if the guest net execution time with NMI-blocked but without an IRQ
window exceeds 1 second, force NMI-blocked reset and inject anyway
This approach covers most practical scenarios:
- succeeding NMIs are seperated by at least one open IRQ window
- the guest may spin with IRQs disabled (e.g. due to a bug), but
leaving the NMI handler takes much less time than one second
- the guest does not rely on strict ordering or timing of NMIs
(would be problematic in virtualized environments anyway)
Successfully tested with the 'nmi n' monitor command, the kgdbts
testsuite on smp guests (additional patches required to add debug
register support to kvm) + the kernel's nmi_watchdog=1, and a Siemens-
specific board emulation (+ guest) that comes with its own NMI
watchdog mechanism.

This patch adds the required bits to the VMX side for user space
injected NMIs. As with the preexisting in-kernel irqchip support, the
CPU must provide the "virtual NMI" feature for proper tracking of the
NMI blocking state.

do_interrupt_requests and vmx_intr_assist go different way for
achieving the same: enabling the nmi/irq window start notification.
Unify their code over enable_{irq|nmi}_window, get rid of a redundant
call to enable_intr_window instead of direct enable_nmi_window
invocation and unroll enable_intr_window for both in-kernel and user
space irq injection accordingly.

There are currently two ways in VMX to check if an IRQ or NMI can be
injected:
- vmx_{nmi|irq}_enabled and
- vcpu.arch.{nmi|interrupt}_window_open.
Even worse, one test (at the end of vmx_vcpu_run) uses an inconsistent,
likely incorrect logic.
This patch consolidates and unifies the tests over
{nmi|interrupt}_window_open as cache + vmx_update_window_states
for updating the cache content.

If an interrupt cannot be injected for some reason (say, page fault
when fetching the IDT descriptor), the interrupt is marked for
reinjection. However, if an NMI is queued at this time, the NMI
will be injected instead and the NMI will be lost.
Fix by deferring the NMI injection until the interrupt has been
injected successfully.

There is a potential issue that, when guest using pagetable without vmexit when
EPT enabled, guest would use PAT/PCD/PWT bits to index PAT msr for it's memory,
which would be inconsistent with host side and would cause host MCE due to
inconsistent cache attribute.
The patch set IGMT bit in EPT entry to ignore guest PAT and use WB as default
memory type to protect host (notice that all memory mapped by KVM should be WB).
