As advertised in feature-removal-schedule.txt. Equivalent support is provided
by overlapping memory regions.

When sp->role.direct is set, sp->gfns does not contain any essential
information, leaf sptes reachable from this sp are for a continuous
guest physical memory range (a linear range).
So sp->gfns[i] (if it was set) equals to sp->gfn + i. (PT_PAGE_TABLE_LEVEL)
Obviously, it is not essential information, we can calculate it when need.
It means we don't need sp->gfns when sp->role.direct=1,
Thus we can save one page usage for every kvm_mmu_page.
Note:
Access to sp->gfns must be wrapped by kvm_mmu_page_get_gfn()
or kvm_mmu_page_set_gfn().
It is only exposed in FNAME(sync_page).

When cr0.wp=0, we may shadow a gpte having u/s=1 and r/w=0 with an spte
having u/s=0 and r/w=1. This allows excessive access if the guest sets
cr0.wp=1 and accesses through this spte.
Fix by making cr0.wp part of the base role; we'll have different sptes for
the two cases and the problem disappears.

MOL uses its own hypercall interface to call back into userspace when
the guest wants to do something.
So let's implement that as an exit reason, specify it with a CAP and
only really use it when userspace wants us to.
The only user of it so far is MOL.

Some times we don't want all capabilities to be available to all
our vcpus. One example for that is the OSI interface, implemented
in the next patch.
In order to have a generic mechanism in how to enable capabilities
individually, this patch introduces a new ioctl that can be used
for this purpose. That way features we don't want in all guests or
userspace configurations can just not be enabled and we're good.

So far user space was not able to save and restore debug registers for
migration or after reset. Plug this hole.
