on watchdog_thresh
Before the conversion of the NMI watchdog to perf event, the
watchdog timeout was 5 seconds. Now it is 60 seconds. For my
particular application, netbooks, 5 seconds was a better
timeout. With a short timeout, we catch faults earlier and are
able to send back a panic. With a 60 second timeout, the user is
unlikely to wait and will instead hit the power button, causing
us to lose the panic info.
This change configures the NMI period to watchdog_thresh and
sets the softlockup_thresh to watchdog_thresh * 2. In addition,
watchdog_thresh was reduced to 10 seconds as suggested by Ingo
Molnar.

The setup_smep function gets calle at resume time too, and is thus not a
pure __init function. When marked as __init, it gets thrown out after
the kernel has initialized, and when the kernel is suspended and
resumed, the code will no longer be around, and we'll get a nice "kernel
tried to execute NX-protected page" oops because the page is no longer
marked executable.

The address of the gpte was already calculated and stored in ptep_user
before entering cmpxchg_gpte().
This patch makes cmpxchg_gpte() to use that to make it clear that we
are using the same address during walk_addr_generic().
Note that the unlikely annotations are used to show that the conditions
are something unusual rather than for performance.

When we optimized walk_addr_generic() by not using the generic guest
memory reader, we replaced copy_from_user() with get_user():
commit e30d2a170506830d5eef5e9d7990c5aedf1b0a51
KVM: MMU: Optimize guest page table walk
commit 15e2ac9a43d4d7d08088e404fddf2533a8e7d52e
KVM: MMU: Fix 64-bit paging breakage on x86_32
But as Andi pointed out later, copy_from_user() does the same as
get_user() as long as we give a constant size to it.
So we use copy_from_user() to clean up the code.
The only, noticeable, regression introduced by this is 64-bit gpte
reading on x86_32 hosts needed for PAE guests.
But this can be mitigated by implementing 8-byte get_user() for x86_32,
if needed.
