This attempts to implement a "virtual I/O" layer which should allow
common drivers to be efficiently used across most virtual I/O
mechanisms. It will no-doubt need further enhancement.
The virtio drivers add buffers to virtio queues; as the buffers are consumed
the driver "interrupt" callbacks are invoked.
There is also a generic implementation of config space which drivers can query
to get setup information from the host.

1) This allows us to get alot closer to booting bzImages.
2) It means we don't have to know page_offset.
3) The Guest needs to modify the boot pagetables to create the
PAGE_OFFSET mapping before jumping to C code.
4) guest_pa() walks the page tables rather than using page_offset.
5) We don't use page_offset to figure out whether to emulate: it was
always kinda quesationable, and won't work for instructions done
before remapping (bzImage unpacking in particular).
6) We still want the kernel address for tlb flushing: have the initial
hypercall give us that, too.

(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.

Clean up the hypercall code to make the code in hypercalls.c
architecture independent. First process the common hypercalls and
then call lguest_arch_do_hcall() if the call hasn't been handled.
Rename struct hcall_ring to hcall_args.
This patch requires the previous patch which reorganize the layout of
struct lguest_regs on i386 so they match the layout of struct
hcall_args.

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.

Move eax next to ebx/ecx/edx in struct lguest_regs on i386, so they
will be located together and allow it to map directly to a struct
hcall_ring entry (which will be renamed struct hcall_args as in a
subsequent patch).
This is in preparation for making the code hcall code architecture
independent.

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.

Commit 4f9a58d75b ("increase
AT_VECTOR_SIZE to terminate saved_auxv properly") changes the size of
AT_VECTOR_SIZE from hard coded '44' to a calculation based on the value
of AT_VECTOR_SIZE_ARCH and AT_VECTOR_SIZE_BASE.
The change works for arch/powerpc, but it breaks arch/ppc because the
needed AT_VECTOR_SIZE_ARCH is not present in include/asm-ppc/system.h
and a default value of 0 is used instead. This results in
AT_VECTOR_SIZE being too small and it causes a kernel crash on loading
init.
