This patch adds three architecture specific interfaces and x86
implementations used by `perf kvm`:
- kvm_arch_vcpu_get_frame_pointer: Return the frame pointer of vcpu,
for x86 it's RBP, and for arm64 it's x29.
- kvm_arch_vcpu_read_virt: Read data from a virtual address
of the given guest vm.
- kvm_arch_vcpu_is_64bit: Return whether the vcpu is working in 64-bit
mode. It's used for determining the size of a stack frame.
Since arm64 hasn't provided some foundational infrastructure,
stub the arm64 implementation for now because it's a bit complex.

Terribly sorry for the build warnings, which is caused by type casting.
Will be fixed in the next version.
