implement binary patching optimization for pv_cpu_ops.
With this optimization, indirect call for pv_cpu_ops methods can be
converted into inline execution or direct call.

add sched_clock() hook to paravirtualize sched_clock().
ia64 sched_clock() is based on ar.itc which isn't stable
on virtualized environment because vcpu may move around on
pcpus. So it needs paravirtualization.

pv_cpu_ops.getreg(_IA64_REG_IP) returned constant.
But the returned ip valued should be the one in the caller, not of the callee.
This patch fixes that.

The macro get_irq_chip() is defined in linux/include/linux/irq.h
which cause name conflict with one in linux/arch/ia64/include/asm/paravirt.h.
rename the latter to __get_irq_chip().

Introduce pv_time_ops which adds hook to steal time accounting.
On virtualized environment, cpus are shared by many guests and
steal time is the time which is used for other guests.
On virtualized environtment, streal time should be accounted.

introduce pv_irq_ops which adds hooks to paravirtualize irq related
operations.
On virtualized environment, interruption may be replaced by something
virtualization friendly. So the irq related operation also may need
paravirtualization.
This patch adds necessary hooks to paravirtualize irq related operations.

paravirtualize ia64_swtich_to, ia64_leave_syscall and ia64_leave_kernel.
They include sensitive or performance critical privileged instructions
so that they need paravirtualization.
To paravirtualize them by single source and multi compile
they are converted into indirect jump. And define each pv instances.
