[PATCH] i386: iOPL handling for paravirt guests

I found a clever way to make the extra IOPL switching invisible to
non-paravirt compiles - since kernel_rpl is statically defined to be zero
there, and only non-zero rpl kernel have a problem restoring IOPL, as popf
does not restore IOPL flags unless run at CPL-0.
