Hi,

attached is a patch to be able to switch off OOS shadow page table
optimization per domain.
This enables BS2000 to run on non-hap hw with more than 4 vcpus with
reasonable performance (8 vcpus are slower than 4 vcpus with OOS enabled).

Specifiying

oos = 0

in the domain config file will switch off OOS optimization, oos=1 is the
default.

The resulting performance is nearly the same as with OOS switches off at
compile time.

Tested on a x86_64 machine, compilation for 32 bit is okay.
