Subject: x86/paravirt: revert exports to restore old behaviour
Subdividing the paravirt_ops structure caused a regression in certain
non-GPL modules which try to use mmu_ops and cpu_ops. This restores
the old behaviour, and makes it consistent with the
non-CONFIG_PARAVIRT case.

[ Tobias: It would be nice to know exactly which operations the
modules you're trying to compile are using. ]
