KVM: in-kernel LAPIC save and restore support
This patch adds a new vcpu-based IOCTL to save and restore the local
apic registers for a single vcpu. The kernel only copies the apic page as
a whole, extraction of registers is left to userspace side. On restore, the
APIC timer is restarted from the initial count, this introduces a little
delay, but works fine.
