remove xhat
The xhat infrastructure was added to support hardware such as the zulu
graphics card - hardware which had on-board MMUs.  The VM used the xhat code
to keep the CPU's and Zulu's page tables in-sync.  Since the only xhat user
was zulu (which is gone), we can safely remove it simplifying the whole VM
subsystem.
Assorted notes:
- AS_BUSY flag was used solely by xhat
