This patch replaces the mmap_sem lock for the memory slots with a new
kvm private lock, it is needed beacuse untill now there were cases where
kvm accesses user memory while holding the mmap semaphore.

Right now rmap_remove won't set the page as dirty if the shadow pte
pointed to this page had write access and then it became readonly.
This patches fixes that, by setting the page as dirty for spte changes from
write to readonly access.

If some other cpu steals mmu pages between our check and an attempt to
allocate, we can run out of mmu pages. Fix by moving the check into the
same critical section as the allocation.

Convert the synchronization of the shadow handling to a separate mmu_lock
spinlock.
Also guard fetch() by mmap_sem in read-mode to protect against alias
and memslot changes.

Since gfn_to_page() is a sleeping function, and we want to make the core mmu
spinlocked, we need to pass the page from the walker context (which can sleep)
to the shadow context (which cannot).

Do not hold kvm->lock mutex across the entire pagefault code,
only acquire it in places where it is necessary, such as mmu
hash list, active list, rmap and parent pte handling.
Allow concurrent guest walkers by switching walk_addr() to use
mmap_sem in read-mode.
And get rid of the lockless __gfn_to_page.

This paves the way for multiple architecture support. Note that while
ioapic.c could potentially be shared with ia64, it is also moved.
