instructions to the generic x86 emulator. Also add
preliminary support for 16-bit addressing: decode the
ModR/M byte properly but still need to access and update
implicit memory operands (esp,esi,edi) with correct width.
Work is also needed to support real-mode addressing.

location in libxc directory. Not direct from xen and
xenlinux build trees! Also fix a type name in
x86_emulator test harness.

Linux 2.6 now always uses writable page tables (even SMP builds). Also
use native definitions for atomic read-modify-write operations on
ptes. Fixed instruction emulator in Xen.

Tidy the x86 emulator interface, and use it from within the
writable pagetable algorithm to deal with otherwise unhandleable cases.
For example: L1 mapped at multiple L2 slots; L1 that maps itself; L1
that also maps the code making the update, or the kernel stack.
This provides a proof-of-concept for the emulator that can be picked
up for the VMX code to improve the device-model emulation.
