Some tracepoints have a registration function that gets enabled when the
tracepoint is enabled. There may be cases that the registraction function
must fail (for example, can't allocate enough memory). In this case, the
tracepoint should also fail to register, otherwise the user would not know
why the tracepoint is not working.

Tracepoints are named hierachially, and it makes more sense to keep a
general flow of information level from general to specific from left
to right, i.e.
x86_exceptions.page_fault_user|kernel
rather than
x86_exceptions.user|kernel_page_fault

This patch introduces page fault tracepoints to x86 architecture
by switching IDT.
Two events, for user and kernel spaces, are introduced at the beginning
of page fault handler for tracing.
- User space event
There is a request of page fault event for user space as below.

https://lkml.kernel.org/r/1368079520-11015-1-git-send-email-fdeslaur+()+gmail+!+com
- Kernel space event:
When we measure an overhead in kernel space for investigating performance
issues, we can check if it comes from the page fault events.
