[PATCH] i386: PARAVIRT: Remove CONFIG_DEBUG_PARAVIRT
Remove CONFIG_DEBUG_PARAVIRT. When inlining code, this option attempts to trash registers in the patch-site's "clobber" field, on the grounds that this should find bugs with incorrect clobbers. Unfortunately, the clobber field really means "registers modified by this patch site", which includes return values. Because of this, this option has outlived its usefulness, so remove it.
