From: Christian Ehrhardt <ehrhardt at linux.vnet.ibm.com>
Dependent on the already existing CONFIG_KVM_GUEST config option this patch
changes wrteei to wrtee allowing the hypervisor to rewrite those to nontrapping
instructions. Maybe we should split the kvm guest otpimizations in two parts
one for the overhead free optimizations and on for the rest that might add
some complexity for non virtualized execution (like this one).
