It's not pretty, but I think having paravirt_ops and paravirt_ops_gpl
would be worse. I'd be sympathetic to the idea of splitting
paravirt_ops up by function groupings, but splitting it by license seems
like a maintenance headache with no real upside. Besides, patching will
solve everything (tm).
Ok. As long as we plan on patching CR2 and CR0 / clts accessors for FPU
save during context switch and page fault paths in the future.
