This series implements some basic hypercalls for MIPS KVM, as used by
the MIPS paravirtual platform support in Linux and provided by Cavium's
VZ KVM implementation.

- Patch 1 hooks up trap & emulate to some minimal hypercall
  infrastructure without any hypercalls implemented yet. VZ support when
  it comes will also hook into the same infrastructure.

- Patches 2-3 implement GET_CLOCK_FREQ and EXIT_VM hypercalls.

- Patch 4 implements the console output hypercall by using
  KVM_EXIT_HYPERCALL (i.e. delegating the hypercall to userland). Its
  unclear if there is a more preferable approach to this, so comments
  particularly appreciated here.
