KVM: Late fixes for the 2.6.23 merge window

A trio of issues were discovered and fixed while bringing up smp guests: - An nx huge page table shadow could alias a real mode shadow page table, causing the real mode page to be treated as not executable. For certain newer Linux kernels, this caused kvm to spin on the smp trampoline.
