[PATCH v4 08/10] KVM: Add arch hooks for enabling/disabling virtualization

Add arch hooks that are invoked when KVM enables/disable virtualization.
x86 will use the hooks to register an "emergency disable" callback, which
is essentially an x86-specific shutdown notifier that is used when the
kernel is doing an emergency reboot/shutdown/kexec.

Add comments for the declarations to help arch code understand exactly
when the callbacks are invoked.  Alternatively, the APIs themselves could
communicate most of the same info, but kvm_arch_pre_enable_virtualization()
and kvm_arch_post_disable_virtualization() are a bit cumbersome, and make
it a bit less obvious that they are intended to be implemented as a pair.
