93b1eab3d2 paravirt: refactor struct paravirt_ops into smaller pv_*_ops
This patch refactors the paravirt_ops structure into groups of
functionally related ops:

pv_info - random info, rather than function entrypoints
pv_init_ops - functions used at boot time (some for module_init too)
pv_misc_ops - lazy mode, which didn't fit well anywhere else
pv_time_ops - time-related functions
pv_cpu_ops - various privileged instruction ops
pv_irq_ops - operations for managing interrupt state
pv_apic_ops - APIC operations
pv_mmu_ops - operations for managing pagetables

There are several motivations for this:

1. Some of these ops will be general to all x86, and some will be
   i386/x86-64 specific.  This makes it easier to share common stuff
   while allowing separate implementations where needed.

2. At the moment we must export all of paravirt_ops, but modules only
   need selected parts of it.  This allows us to export on a case by case
   basis (and also choose which export license we want to apply).

3. Functional groupings make things a bit more readable.

Struct paravirt_ops is now only used as a template to generate
patch-site identifiers, and to extract function pointers for inserting
into jmp/calls when patching.  It is only instantiated when needed.
