This patch refactors the paravirt_ops structure into groups of
functionally related ops:

pv_info - random info, rather than function entrypoints
pv_init_ops - functions used at boot time (some for module_init too)
pv_misc_ops - lazy mode, which didn't fit well anywhere else
pv_time_ops - time-related functions
pv_cpu_ops - various privileged instruction ops
pv_irq_ops - operations for managing interrupt state
pv_apic_ops - APIC operations
pv_mmu_ops - operations for managing pagetables
Good. These make sense to me.
+	.pv_irq_ops = {
+		 .init_IRQ = native_init_IRQ,
+		 .save_fl = native_save_fl,
+		 .restore_fl = native_restore_fl,
+		 .irq_disable = native_irq_disable,
+		 .irq_enable = native_irq_enable,
+		 .safe_halt = native_safe_halt,
+		 .halt = native_halt,
+	 },
I think the halt stuff should be moved to pv_cpu_ops?
+	.pv_misc_ops = {
+		 .set_lazy_mode = paravirt_nop,
+	 },
Or you can split it to pv_cpu_ops and pv_mmu_ops, assuming that they
don't need to interact with each other in terms of the lazy handling.
