Clean up the hypercall code to make the code in hypercalls.c
architecture independent. First process the common hypercalls and
then call lguest_arch_do_hcall() if the call hasn't been handled.
Rename struct hcall_ring to hcall_args.
This patch requires the previous patch which reorganize the layout of
struct lguest_regs on i386 so they match the layout of struct
hcall_args.

Currently we look at the "trapnum" to see if the Guest wants a
hypercall. But once the hypercall is done we have to reset trapnum to
a bogus value, otherwise if we exit to userspace and return, we'd run
the same hypercall twice (that was a nasty bug to find!).
This has two main effects:
1) When Jes's patch changes the hypercall args to be a generic "struct
hcall_args" we simply change the type of "lg->hcall". It's set by
arch code, so if it has to copy args or something it can do so, and
point "hcall" into lg->arch somewhere.
2) Async hypercalls only get run when an actual hypercall is pending.
This simplfies the code a little and is a more logical semantic.

Separate i386 architecture specific from core.c and move it to
x86/core.c and add x86/lguest.h header file to match.

This simplifies the code a little, in preparation for allowing
alternate system call vectors in guests (Plan 9 uses 0x40).

Back when we had all the Guest state in the switcher, we had a fixed
array of them. This is no longer necessary.
If we switch the network code to using random_ether_addr (46 bits is
enough to avoid clashes), we can get rid of the concept of "guest id"
altogether.

In order to avoid problematic special linking of the Launcher, we give
the Host an offset: this means we can use any memory region in the
Launcher as Guest memory rather than insisting on mmap() at 0.
The result is quite pleasing: a number of casts are replaced with
simple additions.

It wasn't needed since a very early prototype of lguest.

A non-periodic clock_event_device and the "jiffies" clock don't mix well:
tick_handle_periodic() can go into an infinite loop.
Currently lguest guests use the jiffies clock when the TSC is
unusable. Instead, make the Host write the current time into the lguest
page on every interrupt. This doesn't cost much but is more precise
and at least as accurate as the jiffies clock. It also gets rid of
the GET_WALLCLOCK hypercall.
Also, delay setting sched_clock until our clock is set up, otherwise
the early printk timestamps can go backwards (not harmful, just ugly).

This is the code for the "lg.ko" module, which allows lguest guests to
