KVM: Add guest mode signal mask
Allow a special signal mask to be used while executing in guest mode. This allows signals to be used to interrupt a vcpu without requiring signal delivery to a userspace handler, which is quite expensive. Userspace still receives -EINTR and can get the signal via sigwait(). Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>
