[PATCH v2 1/5] KVM: Add arch specific interfaces for sampling guest callchains

This patch adds three architecture specific interfaces and x86
implementations used by `perf kvm`:

- kvm_arch_vcpu_get_frame_pointer: Return the frame pointer of vcpu,
  for x86 it's RBP, and for arm64 it's x29.

- kvm_arch_vcpu_read_virt: Read data from a virtual address
  of the given guest vm.

- kvm_arch_vcpu_is_64bit: Return whether the vcpu is working in 64-bit
  mode. It's used for determining the size of a stack frame.

Since arm64 hasn't provided some foundational infrastructure,
stub the arm64 implementation for now because it's a bit complex.
