Subject: [PATCH 20 of 55] x86_64: add workaround for no %gs-based percpu

As a stopgap until Mike Travis's x86-64 gs-based percpu patches are
ready, provide workaround functions for x86_read/write_percpu for
Xen's use.

Specifically, this means that we can't really make use of vcpu
placement, because we can't use a single gs-based memory access to get
to vcpu fields.  So disable all that for now.
