Jeremy Fitzhardinge 60223a326f xen: Place vcpu_info structure into per-cpu memory
An experimental patch for Xen allows guests to place their vcpu_info
structs anywhere.  We try to use this to place the vcpu_info into the
PDA, which allows direct access.

If this works, then switch to using direct access operations for
irq_enable, disable, save_fl and restore_fl.

Jeremy Fitzhardinge ad9a86121f xen: Add grant table support
Add Xen 'grant table' driver which allows granting of access to
selected local memory pages by other virtual machines and,
symmetrically, the mapping of remote memory pages which other virtual
machines have granted access to.

This driver is a prerequisite for many of the Xen virtual device
drivers, which grant the 'device driver domain' restricted and
temporary access to only those memory pages that are currently
involved in I/O operations.

Jeremy Fitzhardinge a42089dd35 xen: Add Xen interface header files
Add Xen interface header files. These are taken fairly directly from
the Xen tree, but somewhat rearranged to suit the kernel's conventions.

Define macros and inline functions for doing hypercalls into the
hypervisor.
