Commit de2d1a524e94 ("KVM: Fix register corruption in pvclock_scale_delta")
introduced a mul instruction that may have only a memory operand; the
assembler therefore cannot select the correct size:

   pvclock.s:229: Error: no instruction mnemonic suffix given and no register
operands; can't size instruction

In this example the assembler is:

         #APP
         mul -48(%rbp) ; shrd $32, %rdx, %rax
         #NO_APP

A simple solution is to use mulq.

The 128-bit multiply in pvclock.h was missing an output constraint for
EDX which caused a register corruption to appear.  Thanks to Ulrich for
diagnosing the EDX corruption and Avi for providing this fix.

<title>x86/pvclock: Zero last_value on resume</title>

If the guest domain has been suspend/resumed or migrated, then the
system clock backing the pvclock clocksource may revert to a smaller
value (ie, can be non-monotonic across the migration/save-restore).

Make sure we zero last_value in that case so that the domain
continues to see clock updates.

The scale_delta function for shift / multiply with 31-bit
precision moves to a common header so it can be used by both
kernel and kvm module.

This patch removes one padding byte and transform it into a flags
field. New versions of guests using pvclock will query these flags
upon each read.

Flags, however, will only be interpreted when the guest decides to.
It uses the pvclock_valid_flags function to signal that a specific
set of flags should be taken into consideration. Which flags are valid
are usually devised via HV negotiation.

Change header guards named "ASM_X86__*" to "_ASM_X86_*" since:

a. the double underscore is ugly and pointless.
b. no leading underscore violates namespace constraints.
