[PATCH V12 0/5] Paravirtualized ticket spinlocks for KVM host

This series forms the kvm host part of paravirtual spinlock
 based against kvm tree.
 
 Please refer https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/8/6/178 for kvm guest part
 of the series.

 Please note that:
 kvm uapi: Add KICK_CPU and PV_UNHALT definition to uapi is a common patch
 for both guest and host.

 Srivatsa Vaddagiri (1):
  kvm hypervisor : Add a hypercall to KVM hypervisor to support pv-ticketlocks

 Raghavendra K T (4):
  kvm uapi: Add KICK_CPU and PV_UNHALT definition to uapi
  kvm : Fold pv_unhalt flag into GET_MP_STATE ioctl to aid migration
  kvm hypervisor: Simplify kvm_for_each_vcpu with kvm_irq_delivery_to_apic
  Documentation/kvm : Add documentation on Hypercalls and features used for PV
spinlock

kvm hypervisor : Add a hypercall to KVM hypervisor to support pv-ticketlocks

From: Srivatsa Vaddagiri <vatsa at linux.vnet.ibm.com>

kvm_hc_kick_cpu allows the calling vcpu to kick another vcpu out of halt state.
the presence of these hypercalls is indicated to guest via
kvm_feature_pv_unhalt.

From: Raghavendra K T <raghavendra.kt at linux.vnet.ibm.com>

Note that we are using APIC_DM_REMRD which has reserved usage.
In future if APIC_DM_REMRD usage is standardized, then we should
find some other way or go back to old method.

+specifying APIC ID (a1) of the vcpu to be woken up. An additional argument (a0)
+is used in the hypercall for future use.

If this is about migration correctness, could it get folded into the
previous patch 2/5, so that there's not a broken commit which could
hurt bisection?
