    x86: Clean up the hypervisor layer · e08cae41

    Clean up the hypervisor layer and the hypervisor drivers, using an ops
    structure instead of an enumeration with if statements.
    
    The identity of the hypervisor, if needed, can be tested by testing
    the pointer value in x86_hyper.
    
    The MS-HyperV private state is moved into a normal global variable
    (it's per-system state, not per-CPU state).  Being a normal bss
    variable, it will be left at all zero on non-HyperV platforms, and so
    can generally be tested for HyperV-specific features without
    additional qualification.
