Instead, CPUs will be created dynamically. We also allow a relatively
efficient mechanism for stealing and notifying when a vCPU becomes
available via unlock.
Since the number of vCPUs is no longer fixed at machine creation time,
we make the dirtySet packing more efficient. This has the pleasant side
effect of cutting out the unsafe address space code.

Because of the KVM shadow page table implementation, modifications made
to guest page tables from host mode may not be syncronized correctly,
resulting in undefined behavior. This is a KVM bug: page table pages
should also be tracked for host modifications and resynced appropriately
(e.g. the guest could "DMA" into a page table page in theory).
However, since we can't rely on this being fixed everywhere, workaround
the issue by forcing page table modifications to be in guest mode. This
will generally be the case anyways, but now if an exit occurs during
modifications, we will re-enter and perform the modifications again.

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.
