This should also disable the unfair path.

The unfair lock uses a different jump label and does not require any
special PV ops. There is a separate init function for that.

Yeah, what I mean is that the patches that enable paravirtualization should also take care of decreasing the unfair-lock jump label when paravirtualization is enabled.

As there are people who don't like unfair lock at all, I prefer to give them the option to turn this on or off instead of forcing them to always use unfair lock in a PV guest.
