[RFC PATCH 2/3] x86: add generic hypercall support

From: Gregory Haskins
Date: Tue May 05 2009 - 09:25:44 EST


This adds a hypercall() vector to x86 pv_cpu_ops to be optionally filled in
by a hypervisor driver as it loads its other pv_ops components. We also
declare x86 as CONFIG_HAVE_HYPERCALL to enable the generic hypercall code
whenever the user builds for x86.
