Update all block tests to use the Xen Virtual Block Device (xvd) rather than IDEor SCSI.

This patch also modifies
09_block_attach_and_dettach_device_check_data_pos.py to force / to be
read-write otherwise the mkdir fails.

Also Whistspace cleanups.

8 * installing a virtual exception table
9 * handling virtual exceptions

13 * registering virtual interrupt handlers (for timer interrupts)

18

24 - to build it just type make.

26 - to start it do the following in domain0 (assuming xend is running)
27 # xm create domain_config

30 1000 timer interrupts the system time.
