Rusty Russell 15045275c3 Remove old lguest I/O infrrasructure.
This patch gets rid of the old lguest host I/O infrastructure and
replaces it with a single hypercall "LHCALL_NOTIFY" which takes an
address.

The main change is the removal of io.c: that mainly did inter-guest
I/O, which virtio doesn't yet support.

Rusty Russell 47436aa4ad Boot with virtual == physical to get closer to native Linux.
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.

Jes Sorensen d612cde060 Move register setup into i386_core.c
Move setup_regs() to lguest_arch_setup_regs() in i386_core.c given
that this is very architecture specific.

Jes Sorensen 511801dc31 Change example launcher to use unsigned long not u32
Apply Clue 2x4 to lguest userland<->kernel handling code and the
lguest launcher. Pointers are not to be passed in u32's!

Basic rule of thumb: Anything passing u32's back and forth should be
passing unsigned longs to be portable to 64 bit archs.

For those who forgotten already, I repeat: NO POINTERS IN u32!

Rusty Russell 48245cc070 Remove fixed limit on number of guests, and lguests array.
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.

Rusty Russell 3c6b5bfa3c Introduce guest mem offset, static link example launcher
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.

Rusty Russell f938d2c892 lguest: documentation I: Preparation
The netfilter code had very good documentation: the Netfilter Hacking HOWTO.
Noone ever read it.

So this time I'm trying something different, using a bit of Knuthiness.
