Add generic virtualization support for pinning the current vcpu to a
specified physical cpu. As this operation isn't performance critical
(a very limited set of operations like BIOS calls and SMIs is expected
to need this) just add a hypervisor specific indirection.

V4: move this patch some places up in the series
WARN_ONCE in case platform doesn't support pinning as requested by
Peter Zijlstra
V3: use getc_cpu()/put_cpu() as suggested by David Vrabel
V2: adapt to using workqueues
add include/linux/hypervisor.h to hide architecture specific stuff
from generic kernel code
In case paravirt maintainers don't want to be responsible for
include/linux/hypervisor.h I could take it.
