KVM: MIPS: Use CP0_BadInstr[P] for emulation
When exiting from the guest, store the values of the CP0_BadInstr and
CP0_BadInstrP registers if they exist, which contain the encodings of
the instructions which caused the last synchronous exception.
When the instruction is needed for emulation, kvm_get_badinstr() and
kvm_get_badinstrp() are used instead of calling kvm_get_inst() directly,
to decide whether to read the saved CP0_BadInstr/CP0_BadInstrP registers
(if they exist), or read the instruction from memory (if not).
The use of these registers should be more robust than using
kvm_get_inst(), as it actually gives the instruction encoding seen by
the hardware rather than relying on user accessors after the fact, which
can be fooled by incoherent icache or a racing code modification. It
will also work with VZ, where the guest virtual memory isn't directly
accessible by the host with user accessors.
