v12->v13: - Change patch 9 to generate separate versions of the queue_spin_lock_slowpath functions for bare metal and PV guest. This reduces the performance impact of the PV code on bare metal systems. v11->v12: - Based on PeterZ's version of the qspinlock patch (https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/6/15/63). - Incorporated many of the review comments from Konrad Wilk and Paolo

v8->v9: - Integrate PeterZ's version of the queue spinlock patch with some modification: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20140310154236.038181843 at infradead.org - Break the more complex patches into smaller ones to ease review effort. - Fix a racing condition in the PV qspinlock code. v7->v8: - Remove one unneeded atomic operation from the slowpath, thus improving
