[PATCH 50/50] KVM: Allocate userspace memory for older userspace

[Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>]

From: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com>

Allocate a userspace buffer for older userspaces.  Also eliminate phys_mem
buffer.  The memset() in kvmctl really kills initial memory usage but swapping
works even with old userspaces.

A side effect is that maximum guest side is reduced for older userspace on
i386.
