a9321a4d49 x86: Implement SMEP and SMAP
This patch implements Supervisor Mode Execution Prevention (SMEP) and
Supervisor Mode Access Prevention (SMAP) for x86.  The purpose of the
patch, obviously, is to help kernel developers debug the support for
those features.

A fair bit of the code relates to the handling of CPUID features.  The
CPUID code probably would get greatly simplified if all the feature
bit words were unified into a single vector object, but in the
interest of producing a minimal patch for SMEP/SMAP, and because I had
very limited time for this project, I followed the existing style.

[ v2: don't change the definition of the qemu64 CPU shorthand, since
  that breaks loading old snapshots.  Per Anthony Liguori this can be
  fixed once the CPU feature set is snapshot.

  Change the coding style slightly to conform to checkpatch.pl. ]

5918fffb1d x86: split off condition code helpers
Move condition code helpers to cc_helper.c.

Move the shared inline functions lshift(), cpu_load_eflags() and
cpu_cc_compute_all() to cpu.h.
