[Avi Kivity <avi-atKUWr5tajBWk0Htik3J/w@public.gmane.org>]

The cr3 reload optimization in kvm-54 killed Solaris, so here is a fix.

Changes from kvm-54:
- remove old hypercall driver (Anthony Liguori)
- disable dirty page logging for main memory (Izik Eidus)
- fix incorrect page count calculation for dirty logging (Izik Eidus)
- improve testsuite 'make clean' (Neo Jia)
- compile fix (Sheng Yang)
- reorganize x86 emulator main switch
- don't bypass mmu on pae cr3 reload if pdptrs changed
   - fixes Solaris x86
- use common defines for EFER (Carlo Marcelo Arenas Belon)
- portability (Xiantao Zhang)
- fix kvm_init() error path (Xiantao Zhang)
- ia64 iosapic support (Xiantao Zhang)

Notes:
      If you use the modules bundled with kvm-55, you can use any version
of Linux from 2.6.9 upwards.
      If you use the modules bundled with Linux 2.6.20, you need to use
kvm-12.
      If you use the modules bundled with Linux 2.6.21, you need to use
kvm-17.
      Modules from Linux 2.6.22 and up will work with any kvm version from
kvm-22.  Some features may only be available in newer releases.
      For best performance, use Linux 2.6.23-rc2 or later as the host.
