SWAPGS is no longer needed thus NOT allowed with FRED because FRED
transitions ensure that an operating system can _always_ operate
with its own GS base address:
- For events that occur in ring 3, FRED event delivery swaps the GS
base address with the IA32_KERNEL_GS_BASE MSR.
- ERETU (the FRED transition that returns to ring 3) also swaps the
GS base address with the IA32_KERNEL_GS_BASE MSR.
And the operating system can still setup the GS segment for a user
thread without the need of loading a user thread GS with:
- Using LKGS, available with FRED, to modify other attributes of the
GS segment without compromising its ability always to operate with
its own GS base address.
- Accessing the GS segment base address for a user thread as before
using RDMSR or WRMSR on the IA32_KERNEL_GS_BASE MSR.
Note, LKGS loads the GS base address into the IA32_KERNEL_GS_BASE MSR
instead of the GS segment's descriptor cache. As such, the operating
system never changes its runtime GS base address.

FRED defines additional information in the upper 48 bits of cs/ss
fields. Therefore add the information definitions into the pt_regs
structure.
Specifically introduce a new structure fred_ss to denote the FRED flags
above SS selector, which avoids FRED_SSX_ macros and makes the code
simpler and easier to read.

struct pt_regs is hard to read because the member or section related
comments are not aligned with the members.
The 'cs' and 'ss' members of pt_regs are type of 'unsigned long' while
in reality they are only 16-bit wide. This works so far as the
remaining space is unused, but FRED will use the remaining bits for
other purposes.
To prepare for FRED:
- Cleanup the formatting
- Convert 'cs' and 'ss' to u16 and embed them into an union
with a u64
- Fixup the related printk() format strings

Let command line option "fred" accept multiple options to make it
easier to tweak its behavior.
Currently, two options 'on' and 'off' are allowed, and the default
behavior is to disable FRED. To enable FRED, append "fred=on" to the
kernel command line.

Any FRED enabled CPU will always have the following features as its
baseline:
1) LKGS, load attributes of the GS segment but the base address into
the IA32_KERNEL_GS_BASE MSR instead of the GS segment’s descriptor
cache.
2) WRMSRNS, non-serializing WRMSR for faster MSR writes.

Intel VT-x classifies events into eight different types, which is inherited
by FRED for event identification. As such, event types becomes a common x86
concept, and should be defined in a common x86 header.
Add event type macros to <asm/trapnr.h>, and use them in <asm/vmx.h>.

WRMSRNS is an instruction that behaves exactly like WRMSR, with
the only difference being that it is not a serializing instruction
by default. Under certain conditions, WRMSRNS may replace WRMSR to
improve performance.
Add its CPU feature bit, opcode to the x86 opcode map, and an
always inline API __wrmsrns() to embed WRMSRNS into the code.

Pull more bcachefs updates from Kent Overstreet:
"Some fixes, Some refactoring, some minor features:
- Assorted prep work for disk space accounting rewrite
- BTREE_TRIGGER_ATOMIC: after combining our trigger callbacks, this
makes our trigger context more explicit
- A few fixes to avoid excessive transaction restarts on
multithreaded workloads: fstests (in addition to ktest tests) are
now checking slowpath counters, and that's shaking out a few bugs
- Assorted tracepoint improvements
- Starting to break up bcachefs_format.h and move on disk types so
they're with the code they belong to; this will make room to start
documenting the on disk format better.
- A few minor fixes"

bcachefs btree nodes are big - typically 256k - and btree roots are
pinned in memory. As we're now up to 18 btrees, we now have significant
memory overhead in mostly empty btree roots.
And in the future we're going to start enforcing that certain btree node
boundaries exist, to solve lock contention issues - analagous to XFS's
AGIs.
Thus, we need to start allocating smaller btree node buffers when we
can. This patch changes code that refers to the filesystem constant
c->opts.btree_node_size to refer to the btree node buffer size -
btree_buf_bytes() - where appropriate.
