Likely a moot point if we wrap ->gva_to_gpa(), but most this into the vendor
implementation.

And if we keep these emulator hooks, massage the patch ordering:

  1. Add plumbing to emulator to pass new flags
  2. Add kvm_x86_ops definition and invocation from emulator
  3. Implement and wire up vmx_is_lass_violation()

That way the changes to each area of KVM are better isolated.
