lguest: stop using KVM hypercall mechanism
This is a partial revert of 4cd8b5e2a159 "lguest: use KVM hypercalls";
we revert to using (just as questionable but more reliable) int $15 for
hypercalls. I didn't revert the register mapping, so we still use the
same calling convention as kvm.
KVM in more recent incarnations stopped injecting a fault when a guest
tried to use the VMCALL instruction from ring 1, so lguest under kvm
fails to make hypercalls. It was nice to share code with our KVM
cousins, but this was overreach.

/*G:030
* 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, though completely different hypercall
- * numbers. Seventeen hypercalls are available: the hypercall number is put in
- * the %eax register, and the arguments (when required) are placed in %ebx,
- * %ecx, %edx and %esi. If a return value makes sense, it's returned in %eax.
+ * Our hypercall mechanism uses the highest unused trap code (traps 32 and
+ * above are used by real hardware interrupts). Seventeen hypercalls are
+ * available: the hypercall number is put in the %eax register, and the
+ * arguments (when required) are placed in %ebx, %ecx, %edx and %esi.
+ * 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".
