From: Uladzislau Rezki <urezki@xxxxxxxxx> Slow boot time is seen on KVM running typical Linux distributions due to SCSI layer calling call_rcu(). Recent changes to save power may be causing this slowness. Using call_rcu_flush() fixes the issue and brings the boot time back to what it originally was. Convert it.
