Seiji Aguchi d34603b07c x86, trace: Add page fault tracepoints
This patch introduces page fault tracepoints to x86 architecture
by switching IDT.

  Two events, for user and kernel spaces, are introduced at the beginning
  of page fault handler for tracing.

  - User space event
    There is a request of page fault event for user space as below.

  - Kernel space event:
    When we measure an overhead in kernel space for investigating performance
    issues, we can check if it comes from the page fault events.
