[PATCH 0/4] make virt_spin_lock() a pvops function
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.

paravirt: add generic _paravirt_false() function
