Subject: lguest: more lazy_hcalls
From: Rusty Russell <rusty@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Some hypercalls can be batched: lazy_hcall is the wrapper which determines
this, so it's pretty harmless to use lazy_hcall() instead of hcall().

Before:
Time for one context switch via pipe: 6745 (6521 - 13966)

After:
Time for one context switch via pipe: 5406 (5170 - 7467)
