Implement the actual patching machinery.  paravirt_patch_default()
contains the logic to automatically patch a callsite based on a few
simple rules:

 - if the paravirt_op function is paravirt_nop, then patch nops
 - if the paravirt_op function is a jmp target, then jmp to it
 - if the paravirt_op function is callable and doesn't clobber too much
    for the callsite, call it directly

paravirt_patch_default is suitable as a default implementation of
paravirt_ops.patch, will remove most of the expensive indirect calls
in favour of either a direct call or a pile of nops.

Backends may implement their own patcher, however.  There are several
helper functions to help with this:

paravirt_patch_nop      nop out a callsite
paravirt_patch_ignore   leave the callsite as-is
paravirt_patch_call     patch a call if the caller and callee
                        have compatible clobbers
paravirt_patch_jmp      patch in a jmp
paravirt_patch_insns    patch some literal instructions over
                        the callsite, if they fit

This patch also implements more direct patches for the native case, so
that when running on native hardware many common operations are
implemented inline.
