Use virtual 8086 mode for VMX guests with CR0.PE == 0
When a VMX guest tries to enter real mode, put it in virtual 8086 mode
instead, if that's possible. Handle all errors and corner cases by
falling back to the real-mode emulator.
This is similar to the old VMXASSIST system except it uses Xen's
x86_emulate emulator instead of having a partial emulator in the guest
firmware. It more than doubles the speed of real-mode operation on
VMX.
