Move lguest guest support to arch/x86.
Lguest has two sides: host support (to launch guests) and guest
support (replacement boot path and paravirt_ops). This moves the
guest side to arch/x86/lguest where it's closer to related code.

10 | * but for the moment this suffices. The normal boot code uses %esi for the | ||
11 | * boot header, so we do too. We convert it to a virtual address by adding | ||
12 | * PAGE_OFFSET, and hand it to lguest_init() as its argument (ie. %eax). | ||

43 | * it sets the eflags interrupt bit on the stack based on | ||

45 | * restoring it. However, when the Host sets the Guest up for direct traps, | ||
46 | * such as system calls, the processor is the one to push eflags onto the | ||
47 | * stack, and the interrupt bit will be 1 (in reality, interrupts are always | ||
48 | * enabled in the Guest). | ||
49 | * | ||
50 | * This turns out to be harmless: the only trap which should happen under Linux | ||
51 | * with interrupts disabled is Page Fault (due to our lazy mapping of vmalloc | ||
52 | * regions), which has to be reflected through the Host anyway. If another | ||
53 | * trap *does* go off when interrupts are disabled, the Guest will panic, and | ||

56 | /*G:045 There is one final paravirt_op that the Guest implements, and glancing | ||
57 | * at it you can see why I left it to last. It's *cool*! It's in *assembler*! | ||
58 | * | ||
59 | * The "iret" instruction is used to return from an interrupt or trap. The | ||
60 | * stack looks like this: | ||
61 | * old address | ||
62 | * old code segment & privilege level | ||
63 | * old processor flags ("eflags") | ||
64 | * | ||
65 | * The "iret" instruction pops those values off the stack and restores them all | ||
66 | * at once. The only problem is that eflags includes the Interrupt Flag which | ||
67 | * the Guest can't change: the CPU will simply ignore it when we do an "iret". | ||
68 | * So we have to copy eflags from the stack to lguest_data.irq_enabled before | ||
69 | * we do the "iret". | ||
70 | * | ||
71 | * There are two problems with this: firstly, we need to use a register to do | ||
72 | * the copy and secondly, the whole thing needs to be atomic. The first | ||
73 | * problem is easy to solve: push %eax on the stack so we can use it, and then | ||
74 | * restore it at the end just before the real "iret". | ||
75 | * | ||
76 | * The second is harder: copying eflags to lguest_data.irq_enabled will turn | ||
77 | * interrupts on before we're finished, so we could be interrupted before we | ||
78 | * return to userspace or wherever. Our solution to this is to surround the | ||
79 | * code with lguest_noirq_start: and lguest_noirq_end: labels. We tell the | ||
80 | * Host that it is *never* to interrupt us there, even if interrupts seem to be | ||
81 | * enabled. */ | ||
