[PATCH 2 of 7] x86/pvops: add a paravirt_ident functions to allow special patching

[Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy@goop.org>]

Several paravirt ops implementations simply return their arguments,
the most obvious being the make_pte/pte_val class of operations on
native.

On 32-bit, the identity function is literally a no-op, as the calling
convention uses the same registers for the first argument and return.
On 64-bit, it can be implemented with a single "mov".

This patch adds special identity functions for 32 and 64 bit argument,
and machinery to recognize them and replace them with either nops or a
mov as appropriate.

At the moment, the only users for the identity functions are the
pagetable entry conversion functions.

The result is a measureable improvement on pagetable-heavy benchmarks
(2-3%, reducing the pvops overhead from 5 to 2%).
