I will be dusting off Linux domU PVHv2 patches now that ACPI changes are
getting close to being accepted.

Last version of that patch referred to these guests as 'hvmlite',
including in names of variables, routines etc. I was hesitant to remove
"classic" PVH code and use "pvh" instead of "hvmlite" because we didn't
have dom0 v2 support and so I kept existing PVHv1 code intact.

Do we still want to do this (i.e. keep v1 code and use "hvmlite")? FWIW,
I am not aware of anyone using PVH dom0 (or PVH domU for that matter).

I think we should remove the PVHv1 code from Linux and then reuse the
"pvh" name.
