Linus Torvalds 9591fdb061 - Remove a bunch of asm implementing condition flags testing in KVM's
emulator in favor of int3_emulate_jcc() which is written in C
 
 - Replace KVM fastops with C-based stubs which avoids problems with the
   fastop infra related to latter not adhering to the C ABI due to their
   special calling convention and, more importantly, bypassing compiler
   control-flow integrity checking because they're written in asm
 
 - Remove wrongly used static branches and other ugliness accumulated
   over time in hyperv's hypercall implementation with a proper static
   function call to the correct hypervisor call variant
 
 - Add some fixes and modifications to allow running FRED-enabled kernels
   in KVM even on non-FRED hardware
 
 - Add kCFI improvements like validating indirect calls and prepare for
   enabling kCFI with GCC. Add cmdline params documentation and other
   code cleanups
 
 - Use the single-byte 0xd6 insn as the official #UD single-byte
   undefined opcode instruction as agreed upon by both x86 vendors
 
 - Other smaller cleanups and touchups all over the place
