x86, asmlinkage, paravirt: Make paravirt thunks global



The paravirt thunks use a hack of using a static reference to a static
function to reference that function from the top level statement.

This assumes that gcc always generates static function names in a specific
format, which is not necessarily true.

Simply make these functions global and asmlinkage or __visible. This way the
static __used variables are not needed and everything works.

Functions with arguments are __visible to keep the register calling
convention on 32bit.

Changed in paravirt and in all users (Xen and vsmp)

v2: Use __visible for functions with arguments
