Avi Kivity c4f035c60d KVM: x86 emulator: add framework for instruction intercepts
When running in guest mode, certain instructions can be intercepted by
hardware.  This also holds for nested guests running on emulated
virtualization hardware, in particular instructions emulated by kvm
itself.

This patch adds a framework for intercepting instructions.  If an
instruction is marked for interception, and if we're running in guest
mode, a callback is called to check whether an intercept is needed or
not.  The callback is called at three points in time: immediately after
beginning execution, after checking privilge exceptions, and after
checking memory exception.  This suits the different interception points
defined for different instructions and for the various virtualization
instruction sets.

In addition, a new X86EMUL_INTERCEPT is defined, which any callback or
memory access may define, allowing the more complicated intercepts to be
implemented in existing callbacks.
