Sometimes simple attributes might need to return an error, e.g. for
acquiring a mutex interruptibly. In fact we have that situation in
spufs already which is the original user of the simple attributes. This
patch merged the temporarily forked attributes in spufs back into the
main ones and allows to return errors.[akpm@linux-foundation.org: build fix]

Convert the synchronization of the shadow handling to a separate mmu_lock
spinlock.Also guard fetch() by mmap_sem in read-mode to protect against alias
and memslot changes.Signed-off-by: Marcelo Tosatti

In preparation for a mmu spinlock, add kvm_read_guest_atomic()
and use it in fetch() and prefetch_page().Signed-off-by: Marcelo Tosatti

Do not hold kvm->lock mutex across the entire pagefault code,
only acquire it in places where it is necessary, such as mmu
hash list, active list, rmap and parent pte handling.Allow concurrent guest walkers by switching walk_addr() to use
mmap_sem in read-mode.And get rid of the lockless __gfn_to_page.

Move ioapic code to common, since IA64 also needs it.
