1871c6020d KVM: x86 emulator: fix memory access during x86 emulation
Currently when x86 emulator needs to access memory, page walk is done with
broadest permission possible, so if emulated instruction was executed
by userspace process it can still access kernel memory. Fix that by
providing correct memory access to page walker during emulation.

a004475567 KVM: x86 emulator: Add Virtual-8086 mode of emulation
For some instructions CPU behaves differently for real-mode and
virtual 8086. Let emulator know which mode cpu is in, so it will
not poke into vcpu state directly.

0d178975d0 KVM: Fix the explanation of write_emulated
The explanation of write_emulated is confused with
that of read_emulated. This patch fix it.

eb3c79e64a KVM: x86 emulator: limit instructions to 15 bytes
While we are never normally passed an instruction that exceeds 15 bytes,
smp games can cause us to attempt to interpret one, which will cause
large latencies in non-preempt hosts.

56e8231841 KVM: Rename x86_emulate.c to emulate.c
We're in arch/x86, what could we possibly be emulating?
