Rusty Russell a32a8813d0 lguest: improve interrupt handling, speed up stream networking
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.

Before:
	1GB tcpblast Guest->Host:		30.7 seconds
	1GB tcpblast Guest->Host (no GSO):	76.0 seconds

After:
	1GB tcpblast Guest->Host:		6.8 seconds
	1GB tcpblast Guest->Host (no GSO):	27.8 seconds

/*G:031 But first, how does our Guest contact the Host to ask for privileged
* operations? There are two ways: the direct way is to make a "hypercall",
* to make requests of the Host Itself.
*
* We use the KVM hypercall mechanism. Eighteen hypercalls are
* available: the hypercall number is put in the %eax register, and the
* arguments (when required) are placed in %ebx, %ecx and %edx. If a return
* value makes sense, it's returned in %eax.
*
* Grossly invalid calls result in Sudden Death at the hands of the vengeful
* Host, rather than returning failure. This reflects Winston Churchill's
* definition of a gentleman: "someone who is only rude intentionally". */
