KVM: Use a shared page for kernel/user communication when runing a vcpu

Browse source 
Instead of passing a 'struct kvm_run' back and forth between the kernel and
userspace, allocate a page and allow the user to mmap() it.  This reduces
needless copying and makes the interface expandable by providing lots of
free space.
