I don't really notice it (except to begrudge the extra vertical
space), but Ingo does. And he pointed out that one excuse of lguest
is as a teaching tool, it should set a good example.

Fixes guest crash 'lguest: bad read address 0x4800000 len 256'
The new per-cpu allocator ends up handing a non-linear address to
write_gdt_entry. We do __pa() on it, and hand it to the host, which
kills us.
I've long wanted to make the hypercall "LOAD_GDT_ENTRY" to match the IDT
code, but had no pressing reason until now.

Impact: clean up
Rusty told me, some time ago, that he had become a fan of "bool".
So, here are some replacements.

We can save some lines of code by getting rid of
*lg = cpu... lines of code spread everywhere by now.

The fields found in lguest_arch are not really per-guest,
but per-cpu (gdt, idt, etc). So this patch turns lguest_arch
into lg_cpu_arch.
It makes sense to have a per-guest per-arch struct, but this
can be addressed later, when the need arrives.

Went through the documentation doing typo and content fixes. This

Jes complains that page table code still uses lgread_u32 even though
it now uses general kernel pte types. The best thing to do is to
generalize lgread_u32 and lgwrite_u32.
This means we lose the efficiency of getuser(). We could potentially
regain it if we used __copy_from_user instead of copy_from_user, but
I'm not certain that our range check is equivalent to access_ok() on
all platforms.

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.
