Went through the documentation doing typo and content fixes. This
patch contains only comment and whitespace changes.

Move eax next to ebx/ecx/edx in struct lguest_regs on i386, so they
will be located together and allow it to map directly to a struct
hcall_ring entry (which will be renamed struct hcall_args as in a
subsequent patch).
This is in preparation for making the code hcall code architecture
independent.

Separate i386 architecture specific from core.c and move it to
x86/core.c and add x86/lguest.h header file to match.

lguest uses a "switcher" shim mapped high to bounce between host and
guest. As lguest becomes less i386-centric, we separate this code
into a subdir.

If a Guest makes hypercall which sets a GDT entry to not present, we
currently set any segment registers using that GDT entry to 0.
Unfortunately, this is not sufficient: there are other ways of
altering GDT entries which will cause a fault.
The correct solution to do what Linux does: let them set any GDT value
they want and handle the #GP when popping causes a fault. This has
the added benefit of making our Switcher slightly more robust in the
case of any other bugs which cause it to fault.
We kill the Guest if it causes a fault in the Switcher: it's the
Guest's responsibility to make sure it's not using segments when it
changes them.

The netfilter code had very good documentation: the Netfilter Hacking HOWTO.
Noone ever read it.
So this time I'm trying something different, using a bit of Knuthiness.

This is the code for the "lg.ko" module, which allows lguest guests to
be launched.
