this patch makes the pending_notify field, used to control
pending notifications, per-vcpu, instead of per-guest

lguest uses tasks to control its running behaviour (like sending
breaks, controlling halted state, etc). In a per-vcpu environment,
each vcpu will have its own underlying task. So this patch
makes the infrastructure for that possible

this patch changes do_hcall() and do_async_hcall() interfaces (and obviously their
callers) to get a vcpu struct. Again, a vcpu services the hypercall, not the whole
guest

This patch makes the run_guest() routine use the lg_cpu struct.
This is required since in a smp guest environment, there's no
more the notion of "running the guest", but rather, it is "running the vcpu"

Currently, lguest module can't be compiled without the PARAVIRT flag being
on. This is a fake dependency, since the module itself shouldn't need any
paravirt override. Reason for that is the reference to pv_info structure
in initial loading tests.
This patch removes it in favour of a more generic error message.

Jes complains that page table code still uses lgread_u32 even though
it now uses general kernel pte types. The best thing to do is to
generalize lgread_u32 and lgwrite_u32.
This means we lose the efficiency of getuser(). We could potentially
regain it if we used __copy_from_user instead of copy_from_user, but
I'm not certain that our range check is equivalent to access_ok() on
all platforms.

This patch gets rid of the old lguest host I/O infrastructure and
replaces it with a single hypercall "LHCALL_NOTIFY" which takes an
address.
The main change is the removal of io.c: that mainly did inter-guest
I/O, which virtio doesn't yet support.

(Based on Ron Minnich's LGUEST_PLAN9_SYSCALL patch).
This patch allows Guests to specify what system call vector they want,
and we try to reserve it. We only allow one non-Linux system call
vector, to try to avoid DoS on the Host.

Currently we look at the "trapnum" to see if the Guest wants a
hypercall. But once the hypercall is done we have to reset trapnum to
a bogus value, otherwise if we exit to userspace and return, we'd run
the same hypercall twice (that was a nasty bug to find!).
This has two main effects:
1) When Jes's patch changes the hypercall args to be a generic "struct
hcall_args" we simply change the type of "lg->hcall". It's set by
arch code, so if it has to copy args or something it can do so, and
point "hcall" into lg->arch somewhere.
2) Async hypercalls only get run when an actual hypercall is pending.
This simplfies the code a little and is a more logical semantic.

Back when we had all the Guest state in the switcher, we had a fixed
array of them. This is no longer necessary.
If we switch the network code to using random_ether_addr (46 bits is
enough to avoid clashes), we can get rid of the concept of "guest id"
altogether.

In order to avoid problematic special linking of the Launcher, we give
the Host an offset: this means we can use any memory region in the
Launcher as Guest memory rather than insisting on mmap() at 0.
The result is quite pleasing: a number of casts are replaced with
simple additions.

This patch refactors the paravirt_ops structure into groups of
functionally related ops:
pv_info - random info, rather than function entrypoints
pv_init_ops - functions used at boot time (some for module_init too)
pv_misc_ops - lazy mode, which didn't fit well anywhere else
pv_time_ops - time-related functions
pv_cpu_ops - various privileged instruction ops
pv_irq_ops - operations for managing interrupt state
pv_apic_ops - APIC operations
pv_mmu_ops - operations for managing pagetables
There are several motivations for this:
1. Some of these ops will be general to all x86, and some will be
i386/x86-64 specific. This makes it easier to share common stuff
while allowing separate implementations where needed.
2. At the moment we must export all of paravirt_ops, but modules only
need selected parts of it. This allows us to export on a case by case
basis (and also choose which export license we want to apply).
3. Functional groupings make things a bit more readable.
Struct paravirt_ops is now only used as a template to generate
patch-site identifiers, and to extract function pointers for inserting
into jmp/calls when patching. It is only instantiated when needed.

If a Guest makes hypercall which sets a GDT entry to not present, we
currently set any segment registers using that GDT entry to 0.
Unfortunately, this is not sufficient: there are other ways of
altering GDT entries which will cause a fault.
The correct solution to do what Linux does: let them set any GDT value
they want and handle the #GP when popping causes a fault. This has
the added benefit of making our Switcher slightly more robust in the
case of any other bugs which cause it to fault.
We kill the Guest if it causes a fault in the Switcher: it's the
Guest's responsibility to make sure it's not using segments when it
changes them.
