[1/6] Xen VMM #4: add ptep_establish_new to make va available

[Ian Pratt]

This patch adds 'ptep_establish_new', in keeping with the
existing 'ptep_establish', but for use where a mapping is being
established where there was previously none present. This
function is useful (rather than just using set_pte) because
having the virtual address available enables a very important
optimisation for arch-xen. We introduce
HAVE_ARCH_PTEP_ESTABLISH_NEW and define a generic implementation
in asm-generic/pgtable.h, following the pattern of the existing
ptep_establish.
