[PATCH v4 4/9] x86: update GADDR based secondary time area

[Jan Beulich <jbeulich@xxxxxxxx>]

Before adding a new vCPU operation to register the secondary time area
by guest-physical address, add code to actually keep such areas up-to-
date.

Note that pages aren't marked dirty when written to (matching the
handling of space mapped by map_vcpu_info()), on the basis that the
registrations are lost anyway across migration (or would need re-
populating at the target for transparent migration). Plus the contents
of the areas in question have to be deemed volatile in the first place
(so saving a "most recent" value is pretty meaningless even for e.g.
snapshotting).
