Wrap the paravirt_ops members we want to export in wrapper functions.
Since we binary-patch the critical ones, this doesn't make a speed
impact.

I moved drm_follow_page into the core, to avoid having to wrap the
various pte ops.  Unlining kernel_fpu_end and using that in the RAID6
code would remove the need to export clts/read_cr0/write_cr0 too.

This turned out really hideous looking to me. Can't we split the struct into GPL'd and non-GPL'd functions instead? We still have the same granularity, and none of this function call to an indirect function call nonsense.
