Subject: [PATCH 08/13] x86: add hooks for kmemcheck

The hooks that we modify are:
- Page fault handler (to handle kmemcheck faults)
- Debug exception handler (to hide pages after single-stepping
  the instruction that caused the page fault)

Also redefine memset() to use the optimized version if kmemcheck
is enabled.

(Thanks to Pekka Enberg for minimizing the impact on the page fault
 handler.)
