[PATCH] Revert "kvm: x86: emulate monitor and mwait instructions as nop"

[Gabriel L. Somlo]

This reverts commit 87c00572ba05aa8c9db118da75c608f47eb10b9e.

OS X <= 10.7.* are the only known guests which realistically required
this functionality. As it turns out, OS X can be told to forego using
monitor/mwait by passing it "idlehalt=0" as a kernel argument, so we're
better off removing this hack from KVM altogether, at least for now.

OK, here's the formal proposal to revert my original monitor/mwait hack...
I wish I knew about the "idlehalt=0" before I submitted it, but such is life.
Depending on how those of you higher up the food chain feel, I can tolerate
leaving the hack in if it's never on by default (i.e. no CPUID advertisement),
but would feel better if we could simply undo this until we have a better
solution, something less controversial...

Thanks, and sorry for all the noise,
  Gabriel
