This patchset enables a new CPU feature SMEP (Supervisor Mode Execution
Protection) in KVM. SMEP prevents kernel from executing code in application.
Updated Intel SDM describes this CPU feature. The document will be
published soon.

This patchset is based on Fenghua's SMEP patch series, as referred by:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/5/17/523

Looks good.  I'll post the cr0.wp=0 fixup soon.

Please update x86/access.c in http://git.kernel.org/?p=virt/kvm/kvm-unit-tests.git;a=summary to cover smep; it should be similar to nx.

Note: in the future, please use git-send-email to post all patches as one thread. This way, when people post their replies, the thread sticks together as a unit in the reader rather than breaking up.
