The non-x86 part of this series is wholly contained in patch 01.  Compared
to other recent kvm-wide changes, this one is very straightforward (famous
last words).

Like a few other architectures, e.g. PPC, x86 uses a set of global hooks
to call back into vendor code on demand.  A handlful of the x86 hooks are
used only within the scope of kvm_init().  This series moves the init-only
hooks to a separate struct, partly to clean up the code a bit, but mainly
so that the runtime hooks can be made available only after the x86 vendor
has completed its ->hardware_setup().  While working on a different series
I spent a fair bit of time scratching my as to why a kvm_x86_ops wasn't
working, and eventually realized VMX's callback wasn't "ready" because the
vmcs_config hadn't yet been populated.

Due to lack of a cross-compiling setup, the non-x86 changes in patch 01
are untested.

The SVM changes in patch 02 are fairly well tested, e.g. fudged things
enough to ensure KVM didn't explode on a null pointer.

Patch 05 is a bit scary as a rogue dereference of kvm_x86_ops before
->hardware_setup() will crash KVM (maybe the kernel?).  I didn't find any
obvious ways to use kvm_x86_ops on AMD, and tested on a few different
Intel CPUs, so I'm reasonably confident that there are no existing
violations.

v2:
  - Rebase to kvm/queue, 2c2787938512 ("KVM: selftests: Stop ...")
  - Collect tags. [Cornelia]
  - Add a patch to make kvm_x86_ops its own instance and copy
    {vmx,svm}_x86_ops by value, which saves a memory access on every
    invocation of a kvm_x86_ops hook. [Paolo]
  - Add patches to tag {vmx,svm}_x86_ops as __initdata after they're
    copied by value.
