The kvm struct has been bloating. For example, it's tens of kilo-bytes
for x86, which turns out to be a large amount of memory to allocate
contiguously via kzalloc. Thus, this patch does the following:
1. Uses architecture-specific routines to allocat the kvm struct via
   kzalloc for x86 and also for arm when has_tbe() is true.
2. Introduces a baseline allocator for the kvm struct that uses valloc.
   This allocator can be used by an architecture by defining the
   __KVM_VALLOC_ARCH_VM macro before including include/linux/kvm_host.h.
3. Finally, continue to default to kalloc for all other situations, as
   many architectures have taken a dependence on kalloc.
