Add a new IOCTL pair to retrieve or set the VCPU state in one chunk. More precisely, the IOCTL is able to process a list of substates to be read or written. This list is easily extensible without breaking the existing ABI, thus we will no longer have to add new IOCTLs when we discover a missing VCPU state field or want to support new hardware features. This patch establishes the generic infrastructure for KVM_GET/ SET_VCPU_STATE and adds support for the generic substates REGS, SREGS, FPU, and MP. To avoid code duplication, the entry point for the corresponding original IOCTLs are converted to make use of the new infrastructure internally, too.
One last thing - Documentation/kvm/api.txt needs updating. Glauber, this holds for your patches as well.
