idt_table is meaningless in paravirtualized guests, but there were still a 
couple of references to it left. The easiest
way to locate them was to get rid of the variable altogether. It depends on the 
previously submitted patch cleaning up
head.S (which, among other things, eliminated early_idt_handler). It also fixes 
the non-Xen cpu_gdt_init() handling (for
easier later merging).
