Subject: paravirt_ops: Remove CONFIG_DEBUG_PARAVIRT
From: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy@xxxxxxxx>
Remove CONFIG_DEBUG_PARAVIRT. When inlining code, this option attempts to
trash registers in the patch-site's "clobber" field, on the grounds that this
should find bugs with incorrect clobbers. Unfortunately, the clobber field
really means "registers modified by this patch site", which includes return
values.
Because of this, this option has outlived its usefulness, so remove it.

- Currently deliberately clobbers regs which are allowed to be
- clobbered in inlined paravirt hooks, even in native mode.
- If turning this off solves a problem, then DISABLE_INTERRUPTS() or
- ENABLE_INTERRUPTS() is lying about what registers can be clobbered.
