lguest: the guest code

lguest is a simple hypervisor for Linux on Linux.  Unlike kvm it doesn't need
VT/SVM hardware.  Unlike Xen it's simply "modprobe and go".  Unlike both, it's
5000 lines and self-contained.

Performance is ok, but not great (-30% on kernel compile).  But given its
hackability, I expect this to improve, along with the paravirt_ops code which
it supplies a complete example for.  There's also a 64-bit version being
worked on and other craziness.

But most of all, lguest is awesome fun!  Too much of the kernel is a big ball
of hair.  lguest is simple enough to dive into and hack, plus has some warts
which scream "fork me!".

This patch:

This is the code and headers required to make an i386 kernel an lguest guest.
