Don't conflate sysret and sysexit; they're different instructions with
different semantics, and may be in use at the same time (at least
within the same kernel, depending on whether its an Intel or AMD
system).
sysexit - just return to userspace, does no register restoration of
any kind; must explicitly atomically enable interrupts.
sysret - reloads flags from r11, so no need to explicitly enable
interrupts on 64-bit, responsible for restoring usermode %gs

Add hooks which are called at pgd_alloc/free time. The pgd_alloc hook
may return an error code, which if non-zero, causes the pgd allocation
to be failed. The hooks may be used to allocate/free auxillary
per-pgd information.

This patch adds paravirt-ops hooks in pv_mmu_ops for ptep_modify_prot_start and
ptep_modify_prot_commit. This allows the hypervisor-specific backends to
implement these in some more efficient way.

Add pte_flags() to extract the flags from a pte. This is a special
case of pte_val() which is only guaranteed to return the pte's flags
correctly; the page number may be corrupted or missing.
The intent is to allow paravirt implementations to return pte flags
without having to do any translation of the page number (most notably,
Xen).

The memory resource is also used for main memory, and we need it to
allocate physical addresses for memory hotplug. Knobbling io space is
enough to get the job done anyway.
