Remove old lguest I/O infrrasructure.
This patch gets rid of the old lguest host I/O infrastructure and replaces it with a single hypercall "LHCALL_NOTIFY" which takes an address. The main change is the removal of io.c: that mainly did inter-guest I/O, which virtio doesn't yet support. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

14 * Lguest I/O
15 *
16 * The lguest I/O mechanism is the only way Guests can talk to devices. There
17 * are two hypercalls involved: SEND_DMA for output and BIND_DMA for input. In
18 * each case, "struct lguest_dma" describes the buffer: this contains 16
19 * addr/len pairs, and if there are fewer buffer elements the len array is
20 * terminated with a 0.
21 *
22 * I/O is organized by keys: BIND_DMA attaches buffers to a particular key, and
23 * SEND_DMA transfers to buffers bound to particular key. By convention, keys
24 * correspond to a physical address within the device's page. This means that
25 * devices will never accidentally end up with the same keys, and allows the
26 * Host use The Futex Trick (as we'll see later in our journey).
27 *
28 * SEND_DMA simply indicates a key to send to, and the physical address of the
29 * "struct lguest_dma" to send. The Host will write the number of bytes
30 * transferred into the "struct lguest_dma"'s used_len member.
31 *
32 * BIND_DMA indicates a key to bind to, a pointer to an array of "struct
33 * lguest_dma"s ready for receiving, the size of that array, and an interrupt
34 * to trigger when data is received. The Host will only allow transfers into
35 * buffers with a used_len of zero: it then sets used_len to the number of
36 * bytes transferred and triggers the interrupt for the Guest to process the
37 * new input. */
