Cleanup special cases of paravirt patching:

- Xen doesn't need a custom patching function, it can use
  paravirt_patch_default()

- Remove lguest completely from the tree. A LKML mail asking for any
  users 3 months ago did not reveal any need for keeping lguest [1].

In case the patches make it to the tree there is quite some potential
for further simplification of paravirt stuff. Especially most of the
pv operations can be put under the CONFIG_XEN_PV umbrella.

Changes in V2:
- drop patch 3 (removal of vsmp support)
- patch 1: remove even more stuff no longer needed without xen_patch()
