With this, the paravirt_ops code can be enabled on x86_64 also.
Each guest implementation (Xen, VMI, lguest) now depends on X86_32. The
dependencies can be dropped for each one when they start to support
x86_64.

Keep lguest from being enabled on VISWS or VOYAGER configs, just as is
already done for VMI and XEN. Otherwise randconfigs with VISWS and LGUEST
have this problem:

This makes lguest able to use the virtio devices.
We change the device descriptor page from a simple array to a variable
length "type, config_len, status, config data..." format, and
implement virtio_config_ops to read from that config data.
We use the virtio ring implementation for an efficient Guest <-> Host
virtqueue mechanism, and the new LHCALL_NOTIFY hypercall to kick the
host when it changes.
We also use LHCALL_NOTIFY on kernel addresses for very very early
console output. We could have another hypercall, but this hack works
quite well.

These helper routines supply most of the virtqueue_ops for hypervisors
which want to use a ring for virtio. Unlike the previous lguest
implementation:
1) The rings are variable sized (2^n-1 elements).
2) They have an unfortunate limit of 65535 bytes per sg element.
3) The page numbers are always 64 bit (PAE anyone?)
4) They no longer place used[] on a separate page, just a separate
cacheline.
5) We do a modulo on a variable. We could be tricky if we cared.
6) Interrupts and notifies are suppressed using flags within the rings.
Users need only get the ring pages and provide a notify hook (KVM
wants the guest to allocate the rings, lguest does it sanely).

Lguest has two sides: host support (to launch guests) and guest
support (replacement boot path and paravirt_ops). This moves the
guest side to arch/x86/lguest where it's closer to related code.
