Subject: [PATCH] KVM: SVM: move guest vmsave/vmload back to assembly

It is error-prone that code after vmexit cannot access percpu data because GSBASE has not been restored yet. It forces MSR_IA32_SPEC_CTRL save/restore to happen very late, after the predictor untraining sequence, and it gets in the way of return stack depth tracking (a retbleed mitigation that is in linux-next as of 2022-11-09).

As a first step towards fixing that, move the VMCB VMSAVE/VMLOAD to assembly, essentially undoing commit fb0c4a4fee5a ("KVM: SVM: move VMLOAD/VMSAVE to C code", 2021-03-15). The reason for that commit was that it made it simpler to use a different VMCB for VMLOAD/VMSAVE versus VMRUN; but that is not a big hassle anymore thanks to the kvm-asm-offsets machinery and other related cleanups.

The idea on how to number the exception tables is stolen from a prototype patch by Peter Zijlstra.
