[RFC v3 1/3] kvm: Add a notifier for create and destroy VM events

[Vivek Kasireddy]

After registering with this notifier, other drivers that are dependent
on KVM can get notified whenever a VM is created or destroyed. This
also provides a way for sharing the KVM instance pointer with other
drivers.
