Introduce "hcall" pointer to indicate pending hypercall.
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.
