Subject: [PATCH 0/7] x86 paravirtualization infrastructure

The following patches introduce the core infrastructure needed to
paravirtualize the 32-bit x86 Linux kernel. This is done by moving
virtualization sensitive insn's or code paths to a function table,
paravirt_ops. This structure can be populated with hypervisor specific
calls or native stubs and currently support running on bare metal, VMI,
Xen, or Lhype. These patches apply to 2.6.19-rc2-mm2 plus the last set
of paravirt prep patches that Rusty sent.

thanks,
-chris
