Add a hypercall to KVM hypervisor to support pv-ticketlocks
KVM_HC_KICK_CPU allows the calling vcpu to kick another vcpu out of halt state.
The presence of these hypercalls is indicated to guest via
KVM_FEATURE_PVLOCK_KICK/KVM_CAP_PVLOCK_KICK.
Qemu needs a corresponding patch to pass up the presence of this feature to
guest via cpuid. Patch to qemu will be sent separately.
