Subject: [PATCH] x86, paravirt: Remove CONFIG_PARAVIRT_DEBUG

From: Andi Kleen <ak@...ux.intel.com>

CONFIG_PARAVIRT_DEBUG seems rather useless. It only has a single BUG_ON
on a NULL pointer and that is directly in front of code that references
that pointer anyways and would nicely oops if anything was wrong.

So remove that option.
