KVM: PIT support for HPET legacy mode

When kvm is in hpet_legacy_mode, the hpet is providing the timer
interrupt and the pit should not be. So in legacy mode, the pit timer
is destroyed, but the *state* of the pit is maintained. So if kvm or
the guest tries to modify the state of the pit, this modification is
accepted, *except* that the timer isn't actually started. When we exit
hpet_legacy_mode, the current state of the pit (which is up to date
since we've been accepting modifications) is used to restart the pit
timer.

The saved_mode code in kvm_pit_load_count temporarily changes mode to
0xff in order to destroy the timer, but then restores the actual
value, again maintaining "current" state of the pit for possible later
reenablement.

[avi: add some reserved storage in the ioctl; make SET_PIT2 IOW]
[marcelo: fix memory corruption due to reserved storage]
