This patch cleans up some compiler warnings in pal_emul.c.  The
problem was that a struct ia64_pal_retval was being used to return
the results from emulated PAL calls, but not all of the fields
were being initialized.  Given that fields were not initialized,
I was also thinking that there might be a remote chance of data
leaking between vcpu's -- but I haven't convinced myself that
that could actually happen.

I'm not sure this is the best possible way to do this, but it
is simple and perhaps a little more maintainable.
