The following patches introduce the core infrastructure needed to
paravirtualize the 32-bit x86 Linux kernel.  This is done by moving
virtualization sensitive insn's or code paths to a function table,
paravirt_ops.  This structure can be populated with hypervisor specific
calls or native stubs and currently support running on bare metal, VMI,
Xen, or Lhype.  These patches apply to 2.6.19-rc2-mm2 plus the last set
of paravirt prep patches that Rusty sent.

thanks,
-chris
