Add a start_assignment hook to kvm_x86_ops, which is called when
kvm_arch_start_assignment is done.
The hook is required to update the wakeup vector of a sleeping vCPU
when a device is assigned to the guest.

Currently, if enable_pml=1 PML remains enabled for the entire lifetime
of the VM irrespective of whether dirty logging is enable or disabled.
When dirty logging is disabled, all the pages of the VM are manually
marked dirty, so that PML is effectively non-operational. Setting
the dirty bits is an expensive operation which can cause severe MMU
lock contention in a performance sensitive path when dirty logging is
disabled after a failed or canceled live migration.
Manually setting dirty bits also fails to prevent PML activity if some
code path clears dirty bits, which can incur unnecessary VM-Exits.
In order to avoid this extra overhead, dynamically enable/disable PML
when dirty logging gets turned on/off for the first/last memslot.

Drop the facade of KVM's PML logic being vendor specific and move the
bits that aren't truly VMX specific into common x86 code. The MMU logic
for dealing with PML is tightly coupled to the feature and to VMX's
implementation, bouncing through kvm_x86_ops obfuscates the code without
providing any meaningful separation of concerns or encapsulation.
No functional change intended.

Store the vendor-specific dirty log size in a variable, there's no need
to wrap it in a function since the value is constant after
hardware_setup() runs.

Use static calls to improve kvm_x86_ops performance. Introduce the
definitions that will be used by a subsequent patch to actualize the
savings. Add a new kvm-x86-ops.h header that can be used for the
definition of static calls. This header is also intended to be
used to simplify the defition of svm_kvm_ops and vmx_x86_ops.
Note that all functions in kvm_x86_ops are covered here except for
'pmu_ops' and 'nested ops'. I think they can be covered by static
calls in a simlilar manner, but were omitted from this series to
reduce scope and because I don't think they have as large of a
performance impact.
