We copy 7 bytes at eip for userspace's instruction decode; we have to
carefully handle the case where eip is at the end of a page. We can't
leave this to userspace since kernel has all the page table decode
logic.
The decode logic moves to userspace, basically unchanged.

Currently map_vm_area() takes (struct page *** pages) as third argument,
and after mapping, it moves (*pages) to point to (*pages +
nr_mappped_pages).
It looks like this kind of increment is useless to its caller these
days. The callers don't care about the increments and actually they're
trying to avoid this by passing another copy to map_vm_area().
The caller can always guarantee all the pages can be mapped into vm_area
as specified in first argument and the caller only cares about whether
map_vm_area() fails or not.
This patch cleans up the pointer movement in map_vm_area() and updates
its callers accordingly.

commit v3.9-rc1-53-g6d0cda9 "lguest: cache last cpu we ran on." missed
one case, which causes a triple fault. The guest calls guest_set_pgd()

we didn't reset last_host_cpu, so map_switcher_in_guest() thinks
the guest's regs and IDT/GDT etc are already mapped.

The option allows you to remove TTY and compile without errors. This
saves space on systems that won't support TTY interfaces anyway.
bloat-o-meter output is below.
The bulk of this patch consists of Kconfig changes adding "depends on
TTY" to various serial devices and similar drivers that require the TTY
layer. Ideally, these dependencies would occur on a common intermediate
symbol such as SERIO, but most drivers "select SERIO" rather than
"depends on SERIO", and "select" does not respect dependencies.

We were cheating with our barriers; using the smp ones rather than the

used to talk to a real device (a non-SMP CPU).
Unfortunately, just putting back the real barriers (reverting
d57ed95d) causes a performance regression on virtio-pci. In
particular, Amos reports netbench's TCP_RR over virtio_net CPU
utilization increased up to 35% while throughput went down by up to
14%.
By comparison, this branch is in the noise.
