kvm: x86: Dynamically allocate guest_fpu
Previously, the guest_fpu field was embedded in the kvm_vcpu_arch struct. Unfortunately, the field is quite large, (e.g., 4352 bytes on my current setup). This bloats the kvm_vcpu_arch struct for x86 into an order 3 memory allocation, which can become a problem on overcommitted machines. Thus, this patch moves the fpu state outside of the kvm_vcpu_arch struct. With this patch applied, the kvm_vcpu_arch struct is reduced to 15168 bytes for vmx on my setup when building the kernel with kvmconfig.
