This commit implements an enhanced x86 version of S390 KVM_CAP_SYNC_REGS functionality. KVM_CAP_SYNC_REGS "allow[s] userspace to access certain guest registers without having to call SET/GET_*REGS”. This reduces ioctl overhead which is particularly important when userspace is making synchronous guest state modifications (e.g. when emulating and/or intercepting instructions). Originally implemented upstream for the S390, the x86 differences follow: - userspace can select the register sets to be synchronized with kvm_run using bit-flags in the kvm_valid_registers and kvm_dirty_registers fields. - vcpu_events is available in addition to the regs and sregs register sets.
