This is a preparation patch for fixing issues on x86_64 virtual-machines
with more then 4G of RAM, atm we pass __GFP_DMA32 to kmalloc, but kmalloc
does not honor that, so we need to switch to get_pages, which means we
will not be able to use kfree to free memory allocated with vbg_alloc_req.
While at it also remove a comment on a vbg_alloc_req call which talks
about Windows (inherited from the vbox upstream cross-platform code).

Move the declarations of functions from vboxguest_utils.c which are only
meant for vboxguest internal use from include/linux/vbox_utils.h to
drivers/virt/vboxguest/vboxguest_core.h.

This commit adds a driver for the Virtual Box Guest PCI device used in
Virtual Box virtual machines. Enabling this driver will add support for
Virtual Box Guest integration features such as copy-and-paste, seamless
mode and OpenGL pass-through.
This driver also offers vboxguest IPC functionality which is needed
for the vboxfs driver which offers folder sharing support.
