[PATCH] i386: PARAVIRT: use paravirt_nop to consistently mark no-op operations
Add a _paravirt_nop function for use as a stub for no-op operations,
and paravirt_nop #defined void * version to make using it easier
(since all its uses are as a void *).
This is useful to allow the patcher to automatically identify noop
operations so it can simply nop out the callsite.

[mingo] but only as a cleanup of the current open-coded (void *) casts.
My problem with this is that it loses the types. Not that there is much
to check for, but still, this adds some assumptions about how function
calls look like
