This patch changes the dom0_ops structures as discussed in the thread 
"32/64-bit hypercall interface". Keir, I added a struct inside XENIF_PTR() to 
catch direct users in the general code; it was quite useful to have the 
compiler identify those spots.

I have compiled x86_32 and run it with xm-test[1] under qemu. There are 63 
passed tests, so that's good. I still need to verify that the 6 failures were 
not caused by this patch.

I would really appreciate people testing this patch. It should cause no 
functional changes at all. Some areas, such as the "microcode" op, likely 
don't see much testing ordinarily...
