similar to: [PATCH] Documentation: virt: clean up paravirt_ops doc.

From: "Luis R. Rodriguez" <mcgrof at suse.com> The general documentation we have for pv_ops is currenty present on the IA64 docs, but since this documentation covers IA64 xen enablement and IA64 Xen support got ripped out a while ago through commit d52eefb47 present since v3.14-rc1 lets just simplify, generalize and move the pv_ops documentation to a shared place.
