Hi,

this patch changes the SIOEMU callback interface.  The old method was
flawed: the callback data were lost if occuring during an hypercall.

This new interface is not backward compatible.  I think it is not an issue
since sioemu is not widely deployed.

As currently committed, the sioemu fw should work with this new interface
(e1000 is even available).
But I still have one xen patch to submit before generating a binary fw
for sioemu.

Tristan.
