Previously this was done by the caller of 'svm_launch()' after it returned.
This works fine as long as no code is executed in the interim that depends
on pcpu data.
The dtrace probe 'fbt:vmm:svm_launch:return' broke this assumption because
it calls 'dtrace_probe()' which in turn relies on pcpu data.

devmem is used to represent MMIO devices like the boot ROM or a VESA framebuffer
where doing a trap-and-emulate for every access is impractical. devmem is a
hybrid of system memory (sysmem) and emulated device models.
devmem is mapped in the guest address space via nested page tables similar
to sysmem. However the address range where devmem is mapped may be changed
by the guest at runtime (e.g. by reprogramming a PCI BAR). Also devmem is
usually mapped RO or RW as compared to RWX mappings for sysmem.
Each devmem segment is named (e.g. "bootrom") and this name is used to
create a device node for the devmem segment (e.g. /dev/vmm/testvm.bootrom).
The device node supports mmap(2) and this decouples the host mapping of
devmem from its mapping in the guest address space (which can change).

VM_INJECT_EXCEPTION ioctl. However it morphed into other uses like keeping
track pending exceptions for a vcpu. This in turn causes confusion because
some fields in 'struct vm_exception' like 'vcpuid' make sense only in the
ioctl context. It also makes it harder to add or remove structure fields.
Fix this by using 'struct vm_exception' only to communicate information
from userspace to vmm.ko when injecting an exception.
Also, add a field 'restart_instruction' to 'struct vm_exception'. This
field is set to '1' for exceptions where the faulting instruction is
restarted after the exception is handled.

- Host registers are now stored on the stack instead of a per-cpu host context.
- Host %FS and %GS selectors are not saved and restored across VMRUN.
- Restoring the %FS/%GS selectors was futile anyways since that only updates
the low 32 bits of base address in the hidden descriptor state.
- GS.base is properly updated via the MSR_GSBASE on return from svm_launch().
- FS.base is not used while inside the kernel so it can be safely ignored.
- Add function prologue/epilogue so svm_launch() can be traced with Dtrace's
FBT entry/exit probes. They also serve to save/restore the host %rbp across
VMRUN.

Keep track of NMI blocking by enabling the IRET intercept on a successful
vNMI injection. The NMI blocking condition is cleared when the handler
executes an IRET and traps back into the hypervisor.
Don't inject NMI if the processor is in an interrupt shadow to preserve the
atomic nature of "STI;HLT". Take advantage of this and artificially set the
interrupt shadow to prevent NMI injection when restarting the "iret".

processor. Briefly, the hypervisor sets V_INTR_VECTOR to the APIC vector
and sets V_IRQ to 1 to indicate a pending interrupt. The hardware then takes
care of injecting this vector when the guest is able to receive it.
Legacy PIC interrupts are still delivered via the event injection mechanism.
This is because the vector injected by the PIC must reflect the state of its
pins at the time the CPU is ready to accept the interrupt.
Accesses to the TPR via %CR8 are handled entirely in hardware. This requires
that the emulated TPR must be synced to V_TPR after a #VMEXIT.
The guest can also modify the TPR via the memory mapped APIC. This requires
that the V_TPR must be synced with the emulated TPR before a VMRUN.

The instruction emulation handler skips calling 'vmm_fetch_instruction()'
