i386 Transparent Paravirtualization Subarch Patch #1

This change encapsulates MSR register accessors and moves them into the
sub-architecture layer. The goal is a clean, uniform interface that may
be redefined on new sub-architectures of i386.

I currently have nothing analgous for Xen, but this one looks sane.

I would like to strongly request one addition, however: please make it so that a subarchitecture which is still a hardware architecture doesn't have to redefine all of these every time.
