kvm: Make VM ioctl do valloc for some archs
The kvm struct has been bloating. For example, it's tens of kilo-bytes for x86, which turns out to be a large amount of memory to allocate contiguously via kzalloc. Thus, this patch does the following: 1. Uses architecture-specific routines to allocate the kvm struct via vzalloc for x86. 2. Switches arm to __KVM_HAVE_ARCH_VM_ALLOC so that it can use vzalloc when has_vhe() is true. Other architectures continue to default to kalloc, as they have a dependency on kalloc or have a small-enough struct kvm.
