[RFC PATCH v1 0/8] KVM: seftests: Support guest user mode execution and running

[Zeng Guang]

This patch series give a proposal to support guest VM running
in user mode and in canonical linear address organization as
well.

First design to parition the 64-bit canonical linear address space
into two half parts belonging to user-mode and supervisor-mode
respectively, similar as the organization of linear addresses used
in linux OS. Currently the linear addresses use 48-bit canonical
format in which bits 63:47 of the address are identical.

Secondly setup page table mapping the same guest physical address
of test code and data segment onto both user-mode and supervisor-mode
address space. It allows guest in different runtime mode, i.e.
user or supervisor, can run one code base in the corresponding
linear address space.

Also provide the runtime environment setup API for switching to
user mode execution.
