Subject: [PATCH 3/4 V9] Add ioctl for KVMCLOCK_GUEST_STOPPED

Now that we have a flag that will tell the guest it was suspended, create an
interface for that communication using a KVM ioctl.

Changes from V8:
 Make KVM_GUEST_PAUSED a per vm ioctl instead of per vcpu

Changes from V7:
 Define KVM_CAP_GUEST_PAUSED and support check
 Call mark_page_dirty () after setting PVCLOCK_GUEST_STOPPED

Changes from V4:
 Rename KVM_GUEST_PAUSED to KVMCLOCK_GUEST_PAUSED
 Add new ioctl description to api.txt
