[PATCH 1/2] KVM: x86: allow guest to send its _stext for kvm profiling

[Wei Zhang]

The profiling buffer is indexed by (pc - _stext) in do_profile_hits(),
which doesn't work for KVM profiling because the pc represents an address
in the guest kernel. readprofile is broken in this case, unless the guest
kernel happens to have the same _stext as the host kernel.

This patch adds a new hypercall so guests could send its _stext to the
host, which will then be used to adjust the calculation for KVM profiling.
