Hi folks, With this series, the bulk of the work of pvops64 is done. Here, I integrate most of the paravirt.c and paravirt.h files, making them applicable to both architectures. CONFIG_PARAVIRT is _not_ present yet. Basically, this code is missing page table integration (patches currently being worked on by Jeremy). Enjoy

This is a small series getting rid of paravirt patching by switching completely to alternative patching for the same functionality. The basic idea is to add the capability to switch from indirect to direct calls via a special alternative patching option. This removes _some_ of the paravirt macro maze, but most of it needs to stay due to the need of hiding the call instructions from the compiler

Hi, all, I have difficulty on setting up lguest.

This series removes some no longer needed stuff from paravirt infrastructure and puts large quantities of paravirt ops under a new config option PARAVIRT_XXL which is selected by XEN_PV only.

With virt_spin_lock() being a pvops function the bare metal case can be optimized by patching the call away completely. In case a kernel running as a guest it can decide whether to use paravitualized spinlocks, the current fallback to the unfair test-and-set scheme, or to mimic the bare metal behavior.
