This series adds an option to use queued spinlocks for powerpc, and
makes it the default for the Book3S-64 subarch.
This effort starts with the generic code so it's very simple but
still very performant. There are optimisations that can be made to
slowpaths, but I think it's better to attack those incrementally
if/when we find things, and try to add the improvements to generic
code as much as possible.
Still in the process of getting numbers and testing, but the
implementation turned out to be surprisingly simple and we have a
config option, so I think we could merge it fairly soon.
Thanks,
Nick

powerpc/powernv: must include hvcall.h to get PAPR defines
powerpc/pseries: use smp_rmb() in H_CONFER spin yield
powerpc/pseries: move some PAPR paravirt functions to their own file
powerpc: move spinlock implementation to simple_spinlock
powerpc/64s: implement queued spinlocks and rwlocks
powerpc/pseries: implement paravirt qspinlocks for SPLPAR
powerpc/qspinlock: optimised atomic_try_cmpxchg_lock that adds the
lock hint
powerpc/64s: remove paravirt from simple spinlocks (RFC only)
