Here, I introduce per-vcpu timers. With this, we can have
local expiries, needed for accounting time in smp guests

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.

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.

This simplifies the code a little, in preparation for allowing
alternate system call vectors in guests (Plan 9 uses 0x40).

If the stack pointer is 0xc057a000, then the first stack page is at
0xc0579000 (the stack pointer is decremented before use). Not
calculating this correctly caused guests with CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC=y
to be killed with a "bad stack page" message: the initial kernel stack
was just proceeding the .smp_locks section which
CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC marks read-only when freeing.
Thanks to Frederik Deweerdt for the bug report!

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.

A non-periodic clock_event_device and the "jiffies" clock don't mix well:
tick_handle_periodic() can go into an infinite loop.
Currently lguest guests use the jiffies clock when the TSC is
unusable. Instead, make the Host write the current time into the lguest
page on every interrupt. This doesn't cost much but is more precise
and at least as accurate as the jiffies clock. It also gets rid of
the GET_WALLCLOCK hypercall.
Also, delay setting sched_clock until our clock is set up, otherwise
the early printk timestamps can go backwards (not harmful, just ugly).

The sense of the IF bit is backwards in the host interrupt handling.
This means we always save "IF=1" on the stack when injecting an
interrupt. It turns out this is almost always correct (unless the
guest is taking a page fault in an interrupt due to an unpopulated
vmalloc mapping), so went unnoticed.
