The current code simply calls "start_kernel" directly if we're under a
hypervisor and no paravirt_ops backend wants us, because paravirt.c
registers that as a backend.

This was always a vain hope; start_kernel won't get far without setup.
It's also impossible for paravirt_ops backends which don't sit in the
arch/i386/kernel directory: they can't link before paravirt.o anyway.

Keep it simple: if we pass all the registered paravirt probes, BUG().
