Subject: [PATCH v11 03/16] KVM: x86: Add an emulation flag for implicit system access

Add an emulation flag X86EMUL_F_IMPLICIT to identify implicit system access
in instruction emulation.

Linear Address Space Separation (LASS) treats data access a supervisor-mode
access if it implicitly accessed a system data structure. The flag will be
consumed to support LASS virtualization.
