Without having the hypercalls available to HVMlite (?) guests these 
changes, except possibly those in vmx.c/svm.c, are somewhat pointless 
since we never reach patched code.
I understand desire not to increase size of hypercall tables which we 
want to eventually get rid of but is it really worth doing (or rather 
not doing) at the cost of not including useful functionality?
