x86: optimize introspection access to guest state
Speed optimization for introspection purposes: a handful of registers
are sent along with each mem_event. This requires enlargement of the
mem_event_request / mem_event_response stuctures, and additional code
to fill in relevant values. Since the EPT event processing code needs
more data than CR3 or MSR event processors, hvm_mem_event_fill_regs()
fills in less data than p2m_mem_event_fill_regs(), in order to avoid
overhead. Struct hvm_hw_cpu has been considered instead of the custom
struct mem_event_regs_st, but its size would cause quick filling up
of the mem_event ring buffer.
