Allow guest to specify syscall vector to use.
(Based on Ron Minnich's LGUEST_PLAN9_SYSCALL patch). This patch allows Guests to specify what system call vector they want, and we try to reserve it. We only allow one non-Linux system call vector, to try to avoid DoS on the Host. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
