When cr0.mp is clear, the guest doesn't expect a #NM in response to
a WAIT instruction. Because we always keep cr0.mp set, it will get
a #NM, and potentially be confused.
Fix by keeping cr0.mp set only when the fpu is inactive, and passing
it through when inactive.

Move to/from Control Registers chapter of Intel SDM says. "Reserved bits
in CR0 remain clear after any load of those registers; attempts to set
them have no impact". Control Register chapter says "Bits 63:32 of CR0 are
reserved and must be written with zeros. Writing a nonzero value to any
of the upper 32 bits results in a general-protection exception, #GP(0)."
This patch tries to implement this twisted logic.

Enhance mov dr instruction emulation used by SVM so that it properly
handles dr4/5: alias to dr6/7 if cr4.de is cleared. Otherwise return
EMULATE_FAIL which will let our only possible caller in that scenario,
ud_interception, re-inject UD.
We do not need to inject faults, SVM does this for us (exceptions take
precedence over instruction interceptions). For the same reason, the
value overflow checks can be removed.

The return values from x86_emulate_ops are defined
in kvm_emulate.h as macros X86EMUL_*.
But in emulate.c, we are comparing the return values
from these ops with 0 to check if they're X86EMUL_CONTINUE
or not: X86EMUL_CONTINUE is defined as 0 now.
To avoid possible mistakes in the future, this patch
substitutes "X86EMUL_CONTINUE" for "0" that are being
compared with the return values from x86_emulate_ops.
We think that there are more places we should use these
macros, but the meanings of rc values in x86_emulate_insn()
were not so clear at a glance. If we use proper macros in
this function, we would be able to follow the flow of each
emulation more easily and, maybe, more securely.

If two conditions apply:
- no bits outside TS and EM differ between the host and guest cr0
- the fpu is active
then we can activate the selective cr0 write intercept and drop the
unconditional cr0 read and write intercept, and allow the guest to run
with the host fpu state. This reduces cr0 exits due to guest fpu management
while the guest fpu is loaded.

If the guest fpu is loaded, there is nothing interesing about cr0.ts; let

intensive guest processes faster, as we won't trap the clts and cr0 write
instructions.

Defer fpu deactivation as much as possible - if the guest fpu is loaded, keep
it loaded until the next heavyweight exit (where we are forced to unload it).
This reduces unnecessary exits.
We also defer fpu activation on clts; while clts signals the intent to use the
fpu, we can't be sure the guest will actually use it.
