Make KVM_GUEST depend on BROKEN_ON_SMP so that it cannot be enabled with SMP. SMP kernels use ll/sc instructions for an atomic section in the tlb fill handler, with a tlbp instruction contained in the middle. This cannot be emulated with trap & emulate KVM because the tlbp instruction traps and the eret to return to the guest code clears the LLbit which makes the sc instruction always fail.
