We were previously openining the platform device (i.e. /dev/kvm) inside the
platfrom constructor (i.e. kvm.New). This requires that we have RW access to
the platform device when constructing the platform.
However, now that the runsc sandbox process runs as user "nobody", it is not
able to open the platform device.
This CL changes the kvm constructor to take the platform device FD, rather than
opening the device file itself. The device file is opened outside of the
sandbox and passed to the sandbox process.

Instead of associating a single PCID with each set of page tables (which
will reach the maximum quickly), allow a dynamic pool for each vCPU.
This is the same way that Linux operates. We also split management of
PCIDs out of the page tables themselves for simplicity.

This is a refactor of ring0 and ring0/pagetables that changes from
individual arguments to opts structures. This should involve no
functional changes, but sets the stage for subsequent changes.

Especially in situations with small numbers of vCPUs, the existing
system resulted in excessive thrashing. Now, execution contexts
co-ordinate as smoothly as they can to share a small number of cores.
