xen/bootup: allow {read|write}_cr8 pvops call.

commit 1a7bbda5b1ab0e02622761305a32dc38735b90b2 upstream.

We actually do not do anything about it. Just return a default
value of zero and if the kernel tries to write anything but 0
we BUG_ON.

This fixes the case when an user tries to suspend the machine
and it blows up in save_processor_state b/c 'read_cr8' is set
to NULL and we get:
