Matt T. Yourst notes that kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_set_sregs lacks validity
checking for the new cr3 value:
"Userspace callers of KVM_SET_SREGS can pass a bogus value of cr3 to
the kernel. This will trigger a NULL pointer access in gfn_to_rmap()
when userspace next tries to call KVM_RUN on the affected VCPU and kvm
attempts to activate the new non-existent page table root.
This happens since kvm only validates that cr3 points to a valid guest
physical memory page when code *inside* the guest sets cr3. However, kvm
currently trusts the userspace caller (e.g. QEMU) on the host machine to
always supply a valid page table root, rather than properly validating
it along with the rest of the reloaded guest state."

Check for a valid cr3 address in kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_set_sregs, triple
fault in case of failure.

Commit 46ee278652f4cbd51013471b64c7897ba9bcd1b1 causes Solaris 10
to hang on boot.
Assuming that PIT counter reads should return 0 for an expired timer
is wrong: when it is active, the counter never stops (see comment on
__kpit_elapsed).
Also arm a one shot timer for mode 0.

1. It's related to a Linux kernel bug which fixed by Ingo on
07a66d7c53. The original code exists for quite a
long time, and it would convert a PDE for large page into a normal PDE. But it
fail to fit normal PDE well. With the code before Ingo's fix, the kernel would
fall reserved bit checking with bit 8 - the remaining global bit of PTE. So the
kernel would receive a double-fault.
2. After discussion, we decide to discard PDE bit 7-8 reserved checking for now.
For this marked as reserved in SDM, but didn't checked by the processor in
fact...

There is no need to skip instruction if the reason for a task switch
is a task gate in IDT and access to it is caused by an external even.
The problem is currently solved only for VMX since there is no reliable
way to skip an instruction in SVM. We should emulate it instead.

A pte that is shadowed when the guest EFER.NXE=1 is not valid when
EFER.NXE=0; if bit 63 is set, the pte should cause a fault, and since the
shadow EFER always has NX enabled, this won't happen.
Fix by using a different shadow page table for different EFER.NXE bits. This
allows vcpus to run correctly with different values of EFER.NXE, and for
transitions on this bit to be handled correctly without requiring a full
flush.

After discussion with Marcelo, we decided to rework device assignment framework
together. The old problems are kernel logic is unnecessary complex. So Marcelo
suggest to split it into a more elegant way:
1. Split host IRQ assign and guest IRQ assign. And userspace determine the
combination. Also discard msi2intx parameter, userspace can specific
KVM_DEV_IRQ_HOST_MSI | KVM_DEV_IRQ_GUEST_INTX in assigned_irq->flags to
enable MSI to INTx convertion.
2. Split assign IRQ and deassign IRQ. Import two new ioctls:
KVM_ASSIGN_DEV_IRQ and KVM_DEASSIGN_DEV_IRQ.
This patch also fixed the reversed _IOR vs _IOW in definition(by deprecated the
old interface).
