Subject: [PATCH 0/9] x86/virt: KVM: x86: Exception handling fixes/cleanups

This series is a conglomeration of three previous series/patches and a bit
of new code.  None of the previous series are directly related, but they
are all needed to achieve the overarching goal of nuking
__kvm_handle_fault_on_reboot(), which is a rather ugly inline asm macro
that has the unfortunate side effect of inserting in-line JMP+CALL
sequences.

Patches 1-3 are resurrected from a series by David Reed[1] to fix VMXOFF
bugs in the reboot flows.

Patch 4 is a patch from Uros Bizjak to get rid of custom inline asm in
nested VMX.  This already received Paolo's "Queued, thanks." blessing,
but has not been pushed to kvm.git.  It's included here as there is an
indirect dependency in patch 8.

Patches 5-6 are minor tweaks to KVM's VMX{ON/OFF} paths to use the
kernel's now-fault-tolerant VMXOFF instead of KVM's custom asm.

Patch 7 replaces SVM's __ex()/__kvm_handle_fault_on_reboot() with more
tailored asm goto macros, similar to the existing VMX asm_vmx*() macros.
This is largely an excuse to get rid of __kvm_handle_fault_on_reboot();
the actual benefits of removing JMP+CALL are likely negligible as SVM only
has a few uses of the macro (versus VMX's bajillion VMREADs/VMWRITEs).

Patch 8 removes __ex()/__kvm_handle_fault_on_reboot().

Patch 9 is a very trimmed down version of a different patch from Uros[3],
which cleaned up the __ex()/__kvm_handle_fault_on_reboot() code, as
opposed to zapping them entirely.
