Paolo Bonzini 0367f205a3 KVM: vmx: add support for emulating UMIP
UMIP can be emulated almost perfectly on Intel processor by enabling
descriptor-table exits.  SMSW does not cause a vmexit and hence it
cannot be changed into a #GP fault, but all in all it's the most
"innocuous" of the unprivileged instructions that UMIP blocks.

In fact, Linux is _also_ emulating SMSW instructions on behalf of the
program that executes them, because some 16-bit programs expect to use
SMSW to detect vm86 mode, so this is an even smaller issue.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
