x86: stackprotector & PARAVIRT fix
on paravirt enabled 64-bit kernels the paravirt ops do function calls themselves - which is bad with the stackprotector - for example pda_init() loads 0 into %gs and then does MSR_GS_BASE write (which modifies gs.base) - but that MSR write is a function call on paravirt, which with stackprotector tries to read the stack canary from the PDA ... crashing the bootup. the solution was suggested by Arjan van de Ven: to exclude paravirt.c from stackprotector, too many lowlevel functionality is in it. It's not like we'll have paravirt functions with character arrays on their stack anyway...
