This patch adds the necessary KVM specific code to allow KVM to support

The remaining problem of this patch is that you cannot get the
generically optimal configuration: qspinlock on baremetal, PV
qspinlock on KVM/Xen, unfair qspinlock on VMware/Hyper-V. You really
need to disable unfair locks in kvm_spinlock_init.

So you are suggesting that it is not a good idea to have both unfair
lock & PV be enabled together. Right?
In order to disable unfair locks in kvm_spinlock_init(), it has to run
after the unfair lock init code. Do you guys know what determine the
init function execution sequence?
