[RFC, PATCH 5/5] Paravirt_ops export.patch

[Zachary Amsden <zach@vmware.com>]

Now that paravirt-ops is a fully patched, purely functional interface,
which appropriately generates bugs when patches fail to get applied,
it need no longer be exported to modules.  Modules will be patched at
load time, and need no boot time fallback which references paravirt-ops.

Now, all traditional functionality which was inlined into modules before
is still available to modules with paravirt_ops, but there is no danger
of exporting it to rogue or non-GPL modules.
