This is a major cleanup of the paravirt infrastructure aiming at
eliminating all custom code patching via paravirt patching.

This is achieved by using ALTERNATIVE instead, leading to the ability
to give objtool access to the patched in instructions.

In order to remove most of the 32-bit special handling from pvops the
time related operations are switched to use static_call() instead.

At the end of this series all paravirt patching has to do is to
replace indirect calls with direct ones. In a further step this could
be switched to static_call(), too.

Changes in V5:
- patches 1-5 of V4 dropped, as already applied
- new patches 1+3
- fixed patch 2
- split V4 patch 8 into patches 4+5
- use flag byte instead of negative feature bit for "not feature"

Changes in V4:
- fixed several build failures
- removed objtool patch, as objtool patches are in tip now
- added patch 1 for making usage of static_call easier
- even more cleanup

Changes in V3:
- added patches 7 and 12
- addressed all comments

Changes in V2:
- added patches 5-12
