KVM: x86: Whitelist port 0x7e for pre-incrementing %rip

Browse Source 
KVM's recent bug fix to update %rip after emulating I/O broke userspace
that relied on the previous behavior of incrementing %rip prior to
exiting to userspace.  When running a Windows XP guest on AMD hardware,
Qemu may patch "OUT 0x7E" instructions in reaction to the OUT itself.
Because KVM's old behavior was to increment %rip before exiting to
userspace to handle the I/O, Qemu manually adjusted %rip to account for
the OUT instruction.

Arguably this is a userspace bug as KVM requires userspace to re-enter
the kernel to complete instruction emulation before taking any other
actions.  That being said, this is a bit of a grey area and breaking
userspace that has worked for many years is bad.

Pre-increment %rip on OUT to port 0x7e before exiting to userspace to
hack around the issue.
