[PATCH v3 01/12] x86/xstate: Create map/unmap primitives for xsave areas

[Alejandro Vallejo <alejandro.vallejo@cloud.com>]

Add infrastructure to simplify ASI handling. With ASI in the picture
we'll have several different means of accessing the XSAVE area of a
given vCPU, depending on whether a domain is covered by ASI or not and
whether the vCPU is question is scheduled on the current pCPU or not.

Having these complexities exposed at the call sites becomes unwieldy
very fast. These wrappers are intended to be used in a similar way to
map_domain_page() and unmap_domain_page(); The map operation will
dispatch the appropriate pointer for each case in a future patch, while
unmap will remain a no-op where no unmap is required (e.g: when there's
no ASI) and remove the transient maping if one was required.

Follow-up patches replace all uses of raw v->arch.xsave_area by this
mechanism in preparation to add the beforementioned dispatch logic to be
added at a later time.

v2->v3:
  * Evaluate `v` in UNMAP (casted to void)

v1->v2:
  * Comment macros more heavily to show their performance characteristics.
  * Addressed various nits in the macro comments.
  * Macro names to uppercase.
