I don't really notice it (except to begrudge the extra vertical
space), but Ingo does.  And he pointed out that one excuse of lguest
is as a teaching tool, it should set a good example.

We no longer need an efficient mechanism to force the Guest back into
host userspace, as each device is serviced without bothering the main
Guest process (aka. the Launcher).

Currently, when a Guest wants to perform I/O it calls LHCALL_NOTIFY with
an address: the main Launcher process returns with this address, and figures
out what device to run.

A far nicer model is to let processes bind an eventfd to an address: if we
find one, we simply signal the eventfd.

This patch moves the initial guest page table creation code to the host,
so the launcher keeps working with PAE enabled configs.

This doesn't really matter, since lguest is i386 only at the moment,
but we could actually choose a different value.  (lguest doesn't have
a guarenteed ABI).

Took some cycles to re-read the Lguest Journey end-to-end, fix some
rot and tighten some phrases.

Only comments change.  No new jokes, but a couple of recycled old jokes.

Previously we used a type/len pair within the config space, but this
seems overkill.  We now simply define a structure which represents the
layout in the config space: the config space can now only be extended
at the end.

The main driver-visible changes:
1) We indicate what fields are present with an explicit feature bit.
2) Virtqueues are explicitly numbered, and not in the config space.

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.

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.

This gets rid of the lguest bus, drivers and DMA mechanism, to make
way for a generic virtio mechanism.

lguest_launcher.h uses "u32" not "__u32", which sets a bad example.  Fix that,
and include <linux/types.h>.

This means we need to use -I on the Launcher build line so types.h is found.
