Dependent on the already existing CONFIG_KVM_GUEST config option this patch changes wrteei to wrtee allowing the hypervisor to rewrite those to nontrapping instructions. Maybe we should split the kvm guest otpimizations in two parts one for the overhead free optimizations and on for the rest that might add
some complexity for non virtualized execution (like this one).

So this commit message doesnt explain why 'wrtee' facilities doing whatever optimization and 'wrteei' doesnt.
