    x86: don't allow page table updates on non-PV page tables in do_mmu_update()
    
    paging_write_guest_entry() and paging_cmpxchg_guest_entry() aren't
    consistently supported for non-PV guests (they'd deref NULL for PVH or
    non-HAP HVM ones). Don't allow respective MMU_* operations on the
    page tables of such domains.
    
    This is CVE-2014-8594 / XSA-109.
