i386 Transparent paravirtualization subarch patch #7.
These changes allow a sub-architecture to change the notion of privilege
by running the kernel at CPL 0, 1, or 2. The make_kernel_segment() macro
can be redefined by a subarchitecture to change the RPL on kernel segments
to the appropriate value, and the tests user_mode() and user_mode_vm()
may be similarly overridden.
Changes to the assembly code are required to fully support this, and
provided in a separate patch.
