The CPU would prefer small offsets.

Singleton calls seem to end up being pretty common, so just
directly call the hypercall rather than going via multicall.

It's useful - and probably should be a config - but its very heavyweight,
especially with the tracing stuff to help sort out problems.

b->args[] has MC_ARGS elements, so the comparison here should be
">=" instead of ">". Otherwise we read past the end of the array
one space.

We can't call the callbacks after enabling interrupts, as we may get a
nested multicall call, which would cause a great deal of havok.

If one of the components of a multicall fails, WARN rather than BUG,
to help with debugging.

Add support for exporting statistics on mmu updates, multicall
batching and pv spinlocks into debugfs. The base path is xen/ and
each subsystem adds its own directory: mmu, multicalls, spinlocks.
In each directory, writing 1 to "zero_stats" will cause the
corresponding stats to be zeroed the next time they're updated.

Some Xen hypercalls accept an array of operations to work on. In
general this is because its more efficient for the hypercall to the
work all at once rather than as separate hypercalls (even batched as a
multicall).
This patch adds a mechanism (xen_mc_extend_args()) to allocate more
argument space to the last-issued multicall, in order to extend its
argument list.
The user of this mechanism is xen/mmu.c, which uses it to extend the
args array of mmu_update. This is particularly valuable when doing
the update for a large mprotect, which goes via
ptep_modify_prot_commit(), but it also manages to batch updates to
pgd/pmds as well.

Multicalls are expected to never fail, and the normal response to a
failed multicall is very terse. In the interests of better
debuggability, add some more verbose output. It may be worth turning
this off once it all seems more tested.

This adds a mechanism to register a callback function to be called once
a batch of hypercalls has been issued. This is typically used to unlock
things which must remain locked until the hypercall has taken place.
