xen: implement save/restore

This patch implements Xen save/restore and migration.

Saving is triggered via xenbus, which is polled in
drivers/xen/manage.c.  When a suspend request comes in, the kernel
prepares itself for saving by:

1 - Freeze all processes.  This is primarily to prevent any
    partially-completed pagetable updates from confusing the suspend
    process.  If CONFIG_PREEMPT isn't defined, then this isn't necessary.

2 - Suspend xenbus and other devices

3 - Stop_machine, to make sure all the other vcpus are quiescent.  The
    Xen tools require the domain to run its save off vcpu0.

4 - Within the stop_machine state, it pins any unpinned pgds (under
    construction or destruction), performs canonicalizes various other
    pieces of state (mostly converting mfns to pfns), and finally

5 - Suspend the domain

Restore reverses the steps used to save the domain, ending when all
the frozen processes are thawed.
