Linux idiom). apply_to_pte_range() should take the pte spinlock.

1. Make it clear in all dual-licensed files that the
license when distributed with Linux is GPLv2.
2. Add MODULE_LICENSE(dual) in a few places.
3. Change many of our EXPORT_SYMBOL() decls to EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL().
This is the preference of the Linux maintainers, and avoids any
trouble down the road if our EXPORT_SYMBOL'ed functions use Linux
internal interfaces that are GPL only.

module has a tri-state configuration so it can be a loadable module.
Views the hypervisor as hardware device, uses sysfs as a scripting
interface for user space tools that need these attributes.
Some user space apps, particularly for systems management, need to
know if their kernel is running in a virtual machine and if so in
what type of virtual machine. This property is contained in the
file /sys/hypervisor/type.
The file hypervisor_sysfs.c creates a generic hypervisor subsystem
that can be linked to by any hypervisor. The file xen_sysfs.c exports
the xen-specific attributes.

legacy hypercall in that it takes a pointer to a block of extra arguments
rather than an opaque unsigned long. The old hypercall still exists, for
backwards compatibility.
The new hypercall supports new sub-command SCHEDOP_poll, which can be used to
wait on a set of event-channel ports with an optional timeout. This is exported
in XenLinux as HYPERVISOR_poll, and used in the pcifront driver to wait on a
response from the pciback driver.
Can also be used for debuggers. :-)

Instead of putting the page outside of the guests pseudo-physical address
space, we put it next to the other pages filled by the domain builder,
such that the page is already mapped in the initial pagetables and/or a
lowmem-type memory mapping.

at the local end of the xenbus connection (i.e. that value that is passed
through xenbus_switch_state). This means that xenbus_probe can wait for all
the boot devices to become ready without having to hurt the store.
Also, fix this probing -- previously, the wrong value was being returned by
all_devices_ready_, so this polling would only have waited for one device.

- machine_specific_modify_cpu_capabilities() should be called in similar ways on 32- and 64-bits

Add comments in public header version.h to explain what all the different
feature flags mean. Add a new flag XENFEAT_pae_pgdir_above_4gb to inform the guest
that its PAE page directories do not need to conform to the usual hardware
restriction.

To support this we give kernel GDT entries DPL=0 and use kernel
segment selectors with RPL=0. Xen will crunch these to ring 1 when
they are passed in. When a segment selector is used directly or placed
in a stack frame the guest OS is reponsible for crunching the RPL.
