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.

- * approximately by looking at the addresses in the code.  I chose the common
- * case of reading a memory location into the %eax register:
- *
- *  movl <some-address>, %eax
- *
- * This gets encoded as five bytes: "0xA1 <4-byte-address>".  For example,

- * In this example can guess that the kernel was compiled with

- * kernel were larger than 16MB, we might see 0xC1 addresses show up, but our
- * kernel isn't that bloated yet.
- *
- * Unfortunately, x86 has variable-length instructions, so finding this
- * particular instruction properly involves writing a disassembler.  Instead,
- * we rely on statistics.  We look for "0xA1" and tally the different bytes
- * which occur 4 bytes later (the "0xC0" in our example above).  When one of
