This patchset implements a mechanism which allows XEN to send first an event
if the emulator encountered an unsupported instruction.
The monitor application can choose to mitigate the error, for example to singlestep
the instruction using the real processor and then resume execution of the normal
instruction flow.

This feature was tested using a modified version of XTF:

---
Changed since v1:
  * Removed the emulation kind check when calling hvm_inject_hw_exception

Changed since v2:
  * Removed a file added by mistake

Changed since v3:
  * Removed extra stray line
  * Added the _enabled suffix to the emul_unhandleable monitor option

Changed since v4
  * Fixed return expression of hvm_monitor_emul_unhandleable handle
  monitor_traps failures.
  * Removed stray parantheses.

Changed since v5:
  * Removed unnecessary "else" when calling hvm_monitor_emul_unhandleable.
  * Added extra line in arch_monitor_domctl_event.

Changed since v6:
  * add the distinction between unimplemented instructions and emulation failures.
  * changed "emul_unhandleable" event name to "emul_unimplemented"

Changed since v7:
  * Add "fall-through" comments to the switch statements (coverity)
  * Added X86EMUL_UNIMPLEMENTED to X86EMUL_UNHANDLEABLE checks the in functions
  referencing x86_emulate.
  * Improved comment describing X86EMUL_UNIMPLEMENTED.

Changed since v8:
  * Removed unnecessary "fall-through" comments.
  * Added check for X86EMUL_UNIMPLEMENTED in hvm_ud_intercept.
  * add a new label 'unimplemented_insn' to accomodate the existing jumps to
  'cannot_emulate' (e.g. invoke_stub)

Changed since v9:
  * Added detailed description in the patch comment regarding the usage (and lack of it) 
  of the new X86EMUL_UNIMPLEMENTED return code.
  * removed 'cannot_emulate' label.
  * added local vimrc files to the gitignore list.

Changed since v10:
  * Added asserts to make sure the return code cannot be X86EMUL_UNIMPLEMENTED.
  * Added new return code (X86EMUL_UNRECOGNIZED) to be used when trying
  to emulate an instruction with an invalid opcode.
  * Added emulation return code information to error messages.
  * Raise #UD when emulating an unimplemented instruction instead of just crash the domain

Petre Pircalabu (5):
  gitignore: add local vimrc files
  x86emul: New return code for unimplemented instruction
  x86emul: Add return code information to error messages
  x86/monitor: Notify monitor if an emulation fails.
  x86emul: Raise #UD when emulating an unimplemented instruction.
