KVM's "Lazy FPU loading" means that sometimes L0 needs to set CR0.TS, even
if a guest didn't set it. Moreover, L0 must also trap CR0.TS changes and
NM exceptions, even if we have a guest hypervisor (L1) who didn't want these
traps. And of course, conversely: If L1 wanted to trap these events, we
must let it, even if L0 is not interested in them.

This patch fixes some existing KVM code (in update_exception_bitmap(),
vmx_fpu_activate(), vmx_fpu_deactivate()) to do the correct merging of L0's
and L1's needs. Note that handle_cr() was already fixed in the above patch,
and that new code in introduced in previous patches already handles CR0
correctly (see prepare_vmcs02(), prepare_vmcs12(), and nested_vmx_vmexit()).

Isn't update_exception_bitmap() sufficient for both cases?

  	vmcs_writel(CR0_GUEST_HOST_MASK, ~vcpu->arch.cr0_guest_owned_bits);
  }

Why not fold the logic into update_exception_bitmap()?

Didn't you have a nice guest_readable_cr0() function that did this?
