Matias Zabaljauregui 58a2456644 lguest: move the initial guest page table creation code to the host
This patch moves the initial guest page table creation code to the host,
so the launcher keeps working with PAE enabled configs.

* Drivers
*
* The Guest needs devices to do anything useful. Since we don't let it touch
* real devices (think of the damage it could do!) we provide virtual devices.
* We could emulate a PCI bus with various devices on it, but that is a fairly
* complex burden for the Host and suboptimal for the Guest, so we have our own
* simple lguest bus and we use "virtio" drivers. These drivers need a set of
* routines from us which will actually do the virtual I/O, but they handle all
* the net/block/console stuff themselves. This means that if we want to add
* a new device, we simply need to write a new virtio driver and create support
* for it in the Launcher: this code won't need to change.
*
* Virtio devices are also used by kvm, so we can simply reuse their optimized
* device drivers. And one day when everyone uses virtio, my plan will be
* complete. Bwahahahah!
*
* Devices are described by a simplified ID, a status byte, and some "config"
* bytes which describe this device's configuration. This is placed by the
* Launcher just above the top of physical memory:
