Subject: Re: [PATCH v2 5/8] KVM: emulator: Add emulation of LASS violation
 checks on linear address

When Intel Linear Address Space Separation (LASS) is enabled, the processor
applies a LASS violation check to every access to a linear address. To
align with hardware behavior, KVM needs to perform the same check in
instruction emulation.

Define a new function in x86_emulator_ops to perform the LASS violation
check in KVM emulator. The function accepts an address and a size, which
delimit the memory access, and a flag, which provides extra information
about the access that is necessary for LASS violation checks, e.g., whether
the access is an instruction fetch or implicit access.

emulator_is_lass_violation() is just a placeholder. it will be wired up
to VMX/SVM implementation by a later patch.

(I think the commit message can also explain why the LASS violation
 check is added in the three functions, i.e., __linearize(),
 linear_read_system() and linear_write_system(), and why only in them)

I may think we can just return false in emulator_is_lass_violation() and
fold this new kvm_x86_ops definition into its vmx implementation. This way
is more natural to me.
