paravirt_probe() and its infrastructure proved as popular as it was
pretty. In anticipation of its imminent demise, this switches lguest to
use a magic string to identify a different entry point.
This is not the long-term solution: that will take a new bootloader rev
and will hopefully be done in the next few months.
