Hi,

until now, the set_shared_info_va hypercall was never used.
This patch remove XSI_BASE and use this hypercall to set the xsi address.
Because xsi is now in the top 1MB (before percpu space), linux code should be 
slightly more compact (addl instead of movl).

Tested by running dom0+domU.

Tristan.
