[PATCH v2 2/8] serial: fake IRQ-regs context in poll handlers

[Jan Beulich]

In preparation of dropping the register parameters from
serial_[rt]x_interrupt() and in turn from IRQ handler functions,
register state needs making available another way for the few key
handlers which need it. Fake IRQ-like state.

The use of guest_cpu_user_regs() in dbc_uart_poll() is inconsistent with
other console poll functions we have, and it's unclear whether that's
actually generally correct.

Andrew suggested to move set_irq_regs() to BUGFRAME_run_fn handling;
it's not clear to me whether that would be (a) correct from an abstract
pov (that's exception, not interrupt context after all) and (b) really
beneficial.
