pain for many of the x86 fixes due to needing to fix common code in order
for the x86 fix to have any meaning.  And while the bugs are often fatal,
they aren't all that interesting for most users as they either require a
malicious admin or broken hardware, i.e. aren't likely to be encountered
by the vast majority of KVM users.  So unless someone _really_ wants a
particular fix isolated for backporting, I'm not planning on shuffling
patches.

Tested on x86.  Lightly tested on arm64.  Compile tested only on all other architectures.

Some sniff tests seem to work ok on s390.

Thanks. There are just a couple nits, and MIPS/PPC/RISC-V have very small changes. Feel free to send me a pull request once Marc acks.
