kvm: Add support for pseudo-ops on ARM

This changeset adds support for m5 pseudo-ops when running in
kvm-mode. Unfortunately, we can't trap the normal gem5 co-processor
entry in KVM (it doesn't seem to be possible to trap accesses to
non-existing co-processors). We therefore use BZJ instructions to
cause a trap from virtualized mode into gem5. The BZJ instruction is
becomes a normal branch to the gem5 fallback code when running in
simulated mode, which means that this patch does not need to change
the ARM ISA-specific code.

Note: This requires a patched host kernel.
