There is absolutely no need for a function pointer call here.

Drop the hook, introduce a singlestep_supported boolean, and configure it in
start_vmx() like all other optional functionality.

No functional change, but rather more efficient logic.

Based on Jan's "altcall all hvm ops" patch, but not logically related.  This
had escaped my previous attempts to drop inappropriate function pointer use.

The hvm_funcs data fields are a mess.  All the booleans and 'hvm_capabilities'
want merging into a single bitfield, so we're not wasting 8 bytes of space to
hold 6 bits of information.
