Subject: [PATCH v4 04/19] x86/cea: Export per CPU array 'cea_exception_stacks' for KVM to use

The per CPU array 'cea_exception_stacks' points to per CPU stacks
for #DB, NMI and #DF.  It is normally referenced via the #define:
__this_cpu_ist_top_va().

FRED introduced new fields in the host-state area of the VMCS for
stack levels 1->3 (HOST_IA32_FRED_RSP[123]), each respectively
corresponding to per CPU stacks for #DB, NMI and #DF.  KVM must
populate these each time a vCPU is loaded onto a CPU.

Change in v4:
* Rewrite the change log and add comments to the export (Dave Hansen).
