Windows 2012 guests can notify hypervisor about occurred guest crash
(Windows bugcheck(BSOD)) by writing specific Hyper-V msrs. This patch does
handling of this MSR's by KVM and sending notification to user space that
allows to gather Windows guest crash dump by QEMU/LIBVIRT.
The idea is to provide functionality equal to pvpanic device without
QEMU guest agent for Windows.
The idea is borrowed from Linux HyperV bus driver and validated against
Windows 2k12.
Changes from v2:
* forbid modification crash ctl msr by guest
* qemu_system_guest_panicked usage in pvpanic and s390x
* hyper-v crash handler move from generic kvm to i386
* hyper-v crash handler: skip fetching crash msrs just mark crash occured
* sync with linux-next 20150629
* patch 11 squashed to patch 10
* patch 9 squashed to patch 7
Changes from v1:
* hyperv code move to hyperv.c
* added read handlers of crash data msrs
* added per vm and per cpu hyperv context structures
* added saving crash msrs inside qemu cpu state
* added qemu fetch and update of crash msrs
* added qemu crash msrs store in cpu state and it's migration

The patches look good, thanks. I'll queue them as soon as I start
merging 4.3 features.
