KVM: SVM: Add emulation support for #GP triggered by SVM instructions
While running SVM related instructions (VMRUN/VMSAVE/VMLOAD), some AMD
CPUs check EAX against reserved memory regions (e.g. SMM memory on host)
before checking VMCB's instruction intercept. If EAX falls into such
memory areas, #GP is triggered before VMEXIT. This causes problem under
nested virtualization. To solve this problem, KVM needs to trap #GP and
check the instructions triggering #GP. For VM execution instructions,
KVM emulates these instructions.
