This patch adds the necessary KVM specific code to allow KVM to
support the CPU halting and kicking operations needed by the queue
spinlock PV code.
Two KVM guests of 20 CPU cores (2 nodes) were created for performance
testing in one of the following three configurations:
1) Only 1 VM is active
2) Both VMs are active and they share the same 20 physical CPUs
(200% overcommit)
3) Both VMs are active and they shares 30 physical CPUs (10 delicated
and 10 shared - 133% overcommit)
The tests run included the disk workload of the AIM7 benchmark on both
ext4 and xfs RAM disks at 3000 users on a 3.15-rc1 based kernel. The
"ebizzy -m" test was was also run and its performance data were
recorded. With two VMs running, the "idle=poll" kernel option was
added to simulate a busy guest. The entry "unfair + PV qspinlock"
below means that both the unfair lock and PV spinlock configuration
options were turned on.
