I'm plan to port coLinux kernel patch into the lguest code. So, we no
longer need to patch the kernel directly and use the paravirt-ops instead.

The current state is, have only reviewed the lguest and found similar
code and comments to code as in coLinux. Some code is missing in the
lguest, for example switcher code for PAE based host (X86_PAE). Missing
also a virtual console, like the hvc_xen.c
