Virtualization - Apr 2007 - [RFC/PATCH PV_OPS X86_64 17/17] paravirt_ops - pda entry

plain text document attachment (xx-paravirt-pda.patch)
We don't actually use this. But we started to. This patch adds a 
vcpu entry into the PDA.  This can come in handy, but we are not
sure if we want it.  This is why it's in its own little patch.
