x86/shadow: suppress "fast fault path" optimization without reserved bits

When none of the physical address bits in PTEs are reserved, we can't
create any 4k (leaf) PTEs which would trigger reserved bit faults. Hence
the present SHOPT_FAST_FAULT_PATH machinery needs to be suppressed in
this case, which is most easily achieved by never creating any magic
entries.

To compensate a little, eliminate sh_write_p2m_entry_post()'s impact on
such hardware.

While at it, also avoid using an MMIO magic entry when that would
truncate the incoming GFN.

x86/shadow: suppress "fast fault path" optimization when running virtualized

We can't make correctness of our own behavior dependent upon a
hypervisor underneath us correctly telling us the true physical address
with hardware uses. Without knowing this, we can't be certain reserved
bit faults can actually be observed. Therefore, besides evaluating the
number of address bits when deciding whether to use the optimization,
also check whether we're running virtualized ourselves. (Note that since
we may get migrated when running virtualized, the number of address bits
may also change.)
