Previously, the vCPU FS was always correct because it relied on the
reset coming out of the switch. When that doesn't occur, for example,
using bluepill directly, the FS value can be incorrect leading to
strange corruption.
This change is necessary for a subsequent change that enforces guest
mode for page table modifications, and it may reduce test flakiness.
(The problematic path may occur in tests, but does not occur in the
actual platform.)

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.
