Subject: [PATCH V5] PVH patches for v3.8.

Changelog [since v4]
 - Mukesh addressed the reviewer's concerns.
 - Took Mukesh's patches and redid the changelogs.
 - Added Ack-ed as appropiate.
 - Fixed PVHVM 32-bit bootup issues.
 - Did some various cleanups, split some patches up.

The big change is that I've made the xen_remove_from_physmap structure
be of the same size and offset on 32 and 64 bit builds. Currently PVH 
only runs with 64-bit guests, but in the future it could run with 32-bit.
This change will eliminate having to add a compat layer to deal with
32-bit hypercalls.

Besides that the patches boot on an normal hypervisor - in
dom0 (32 or 64bit), PV domU (32 or 64) and PVHVM domU (32 or 64).
I don't have the PVH hypervisor patches so I could not address the
change to xen_remove_from_physmap but I hope Mukesh can do that.
