commit v3.9-rc1-53-g6d0cda9 "lguest: cache last cpu we ran on." missed
one case, which causes a triple fault.  The guest calls guest_set_pgd()
on the top page, and we carefully remap the Switcher text page.  But
we didn't reset last_host_cpu, so map_switcher_in_guest() thinks
the guest's regs and IDT/GDT etc are already mapped.

Pull virtio &amp; lguest updates from Rusty Russell:
 "Lots of virtio work which wasn't quite ready for last merge window.

  Plus I dived into lguest again, reworking the pagetable code so we can
  move the switcher page: our fixmaps sometimes take more than 2MB now..."

Ugh.  Annoying conflicts with the tcm_vhost -&gt; vhost_scsi rename.
Hopefully correctly resolved.

Now we've adjusted all the code, we can simply set switcher_addr to
wherever it needs to go below the fixmaps, rather than asserting that
it should be so.

With large NR_CPUS and PAE, people were hitting the "mapping switcher
would thwack fixmap" message.

It's always to same, so no need to put in the PTE every time we're
about to run.  Keep a flag to track whether the pagetable has the
Switcher entries allocated, and when allocating always initialize the
Switcher text PTE.

We currently use the whole top PGD entry for the switcher, so we
simply share a fixed page of PTEs between all guests (actually, it's
one per Host CPU, to ensure isolation between guests).

Changes to a scheme where every guest has its own mappings.

We want a separate find_pte() function so we can call it for populating the
switcher PTE entries.

We can also use it in page_writable().
