The "len" field in the used ring for virtio indicates the number of
bytes *written* to the buffer. This means the guest doesn't have to
zero the buffers in advance as it always knows the used length.
Erroneously, the console and network example code puts the length
*read* into that field. The guest ignores it, but it's wrong.

The downside of the last patch which made restore_flags and irq_enable
check interrupts is that they are now too big to be patched directly
into the callsites, so the C versions are always used.
But the C versions go via PV_CALLEE_SAVE_REGS_THUNK which saves all
the registers. In fact, we don't need any registers in the fast path,
so we can do better than this if we actually code them in assembler.
The results are in the noise, but since it's about the same amount of
code, it's worth applying.

lguest never checked for pending interrupts when enabling interrupts, and
things still worked. However, it makes a significant difference to TCP
performance, so it's time we fixed it by introducing a pending_irq flag
and checking it on irq_restore and irq_enable.
These two routines are now too big to patch into the 8/10 bytes
patch space, so we drop that code.
Note: The high latency on interrupt delivery had a very curious
effect: once everything else was optimized, networking without GSO was
faster than networking with GSO, since more interrupts were sent and
hence a greater chance of one getting through to the Guest!
Note2: (Almost) Closing the same loophole for iret doesn't have any
measurable effect, so I'm leaving that patch for the moment.

When the Guest does the LHCALL_HALT hypercall, we go to sleep, expecting
that a timer or the Waker will wake_up_process() us.
But we do it in a stupid way, leaving a classic missing wakeup race.
So split maybe_do_interrupt() into interrupt_pending() and
try_deliver_interrupt(), and check maybe_do_interrupt() and the
"break_out" flag before calling schedule.

2088761152 (lguest: notify on empty) introduced
lguest support for the VIRTIO_F_NOTIFY_ON_EMPTY flag, but in fact it turned on
interrupts all the time.
Because we always process one buffer at a time, the inflight count is always 0
when call trigger_irq and so we always ignore VRING_AVAIL_F_NO_INTERRUPT from
the Guest.
It should be looking to see if there are more buffers in the Guest's queue:
if it's empty, then we force an interrupt.
This makes little difference, since we usually have an empty queue; but
that's the subject of another patch.

Add a new feature flag for indirect ring entries. These are ring
entries which point to a table of buffer descriptors.
The idea here is to increase the ring capacity by allowing a larger
effective ring size whereby the ring size dictates the number of
requests that may be outstanding, rather than the size of those
requests.
This should be most effective in the case of block I/O where we can
potentially benefit by concurrently dispatching a large number of
large requests. Even in the simple case of single segment block
requests, this results in a threefold increase in ring capacity.

Virtio devices are supposed to negotiate features before they start using
the device, but the current code doesn't do this. This is because the
driver's probe() function invariably has to add buffers to a virtqueue,
or probe the disk (virtio_blk).
This currently doesn't matter since no existing backend is strict about
the feature negotiation. But it's possible to imagine a future feature
which completely changes how a device operates: in this case, we'd need
to acknowledge it before using the device.

Provide for means of extending the perf_counter_attr in a 'natural' way.
We allow growing the structure by appending fields at the end by specifying
the full structure size inside it.
When a new kernel sees a smaller (old) structure, it will 0 pad the tail.
When an old kernel sees a larger (new) structure, it will verify the tail
consists of 0s, otherwise fail.
If we fail due to a size-mismatch, we return -E2BIG and write the kernel's
native attribe size back into the provided structure.
Furthermore, add some attribute verification, so that we'll fail counter
creation when unknown bits are present (PERF_SAMPLE, PERF_FORMAT, or in
the __reserved fields).
(This ABI detail is introduced while keeping the existing syscall ABI.)

It's theoretically possible that there are exception table entries
which point into the (freed) init text of modules. These could cause
future problems if other modules get loaded into that memory and cause
an exception as we'd see the wrong fixup. The only case I know of is
kvm-intel.ko (when CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE=n).
Amerigo fixed this long-standing FIXME in the x86 version, but this
patch is more general.
This implements trim_init_extable(); most archs are simple since they
use the standard lib/extable.c sort code. Alpha and IA64 use relative
addresses in their fixups, so thier trimming is a slight variation.
Sparc32 is unique; it doesn't seem to define ARCH_HAS_SORT_EXTABLE,
yet it defines its own sort_extable() which overrides the one in lib.
It doesn't sort, so we have to mark deleted entries instead of
actually trimming them.
