[PATCH 3/8] x86: shrink struct arch_{vcpu,domain} when !HVM



While this won't affect overall memory overhead (struct vcpu as well as
struct domain get allocated as single pages) nor code size (the offsets
into the base structures are too large to be representable as signed 8-
bit displacements), it'll allow the tail of struct pv_{domain,vcpu} to
share a cache line with subsequent struct arch_{domain,vcpu} fields.

RFC: There is a risk associated with this: If we still have code
     somewhere accessing the HVM parts of the structures without a prior
     type check of the guest, this going to end up worse than the so far
     not uncommon case of the access simply going to space unused by PV.
     We may therefore want to consider whether to further restrict when
     this conversion to union gets done.
     And of course there's also the risk of future compilers complaining
     about this abuse of unions. But this is limited to code that's dead
     in !HVM configs, so only an apparent problem.
