kvm: switch kvm slots to use host virtual address instead of ram_addr_t

This simplifies a later switch to the memory API in slot management.

kvm: x86: Pass KVMState to kvm_arch_get_supported_cpuid

kvm_arch_get_supported_cpuid checks for global cpuid restrictions, it
does not require any CPUState reference. Changing its interface allows
to call it before any VCPU is initialized.
