Subject[PATCH v5 00/12] KVM: introduce readonly memslot
Changelog:
- introduce KVM_PFN_ERR_RO_FAULT instead of dummy page
- introduce KVM_HVA_ERR_BAD and optimize error hva indicators

The test case can be found at:
http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1207.2/00819/migrate-perf.tar.bz2

In current code, if we map a readonly memory space from host to guest
and the page is not currently mapped in the host, we will get a fault-pfn
and async is not allowed, then the vm will crash.

As Avi's suggestion, We introduce readonly memory region to map ROM/ROMD
to the guest, read access is happy for readonly memslot, write access on
readonly memslot will cause KVM_EXIT_MMIO exit.
