lguest: suppress interrupts for single insn, not range.
The last patch reduced our interrupt-suppression region to one address, so simplify the code somewhat. Also, remove the obsolete undefined instruction ranges and the comment which refers to lguest_guest.S instead of head_32.S. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
