KVM: Use a shared page for kernel/user communication when runing a vcpu
Instead of passing a 'struct kvm_run' back and forth between the kernel and userspace, allocate a page and allow the user to mmap() it. This reduces needless copying and makes the interface expandable by providing lots of free space. Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>
