At this point, no transports set any of the high 32 feature bits.
Since transports generally can't (yet) cope with such bits, add BUG_ON
checks to make sure they are not set by mistake.

It seemed like a good idea to use bitmap for features
in struct virtio_device, but it's actually a pain,
and seems to become even more painful when we get more
than 32 feature bits. Just change it to a u32 for now.

Currently map_vm_area() takes (struct page *** pages) as third argument,
and after mapping, it moves (*pages) to point to (*pages +
nr_mappped_pages).
It looks like this kind of increment is useless to its caller these
days. The callers don't care about the increments and actually they're
trying to avoid this by passing another copy to map_vm_area().
The caller can always guarantee all the pages can be mapped into vm_area
as specified in first argument and the caller only cares about whether
map_vm_area() fails or not.
This patch cleans up the pointer movement in map_vm_area() and updates
its callers accordingly.

Changing the notify API for guest->host notification seems to be one

This patch changes the notify API. The notify function must return a

commit v3.9-rc1-53-g6d0cda9 "lguest: cache last cpu we ran on." missed
one case, which causes a triple fault. The guest calls guest_set_pgd()

we didn't reset last_host_cpu, so map_switcher_in_guest() thinks
the guest's regs and IDT/GDT etc are already mapped.

The option allows you to remove TTY and compile without errors. This
saves space on systems that won't support TTY interfaces anyway.
bloat-o-meter output is below.
The bulk of this patch consists of Kconfig changes adding "depends on
TTY" to various serial devices and similar drivers that require the TTY
layer. Ideally, these dependencies would occur on a common intermediate
symbol such as SERIO, but most drivers "select SERIO" rather than
"depends on SERIO", and "select" does not respect dependencies.

We were cheating with our barriers; using the smp ones rather than the
real device ones. That was fine, until rpmsg came along, which is
used to talk to a real device (a non-SMP CPU).
Unfortunately, just putting back the real barriers (reverting
d57ed95d) causes a performance regression on virtio-pci. In
particular, Amos reports netbench's TCP_RR over virtio_net CPU
utilization increased up to 35% while throughput went down by up to
14%.
By comparison, this branch is in the noise.

Add a new .bus_name to virtio_config_ops then modify virtio_net to
call through to it in an ethtool .get_drvinfo routine to report
bus_info in ethtool -i output which is consistent with other
emulated NICs and the output of lspci.

We need this in advance of the module.h cleanup, or we'll
get compile errors like this:
CC drivers/lguest/lguest_device.o
drivers/lguest/lguest_device.c: In function ‘lguest_devices_init’:
drivers/lguest/lguest_device.c:490: error: ‘THIS_MODULE’ undeclared (first use in this function)

run_guest tries to freeze the current process after it has handled
pending interrupts and before it calls lguest_arch_run_guest.
This doesn't work nicely if the task has been killed while being frozen
and when we want to handle that signal as soon as possible.
Let's move try_to_freeze before we check for pending signal so that we
can get out of the loop as soon as possible.

We actually can run under KVM, as it doesn't paravirtualize anything we
need to use; reduce the check to checking we are the normal ringlevel.
