[PATCH v8 00/10] qspinlock: a 4-byte queue spinlock with PV support
v7->v8:
- Remove one unneeded atomic operation from the slowpath, thus
improving performance.
- Simplify some of the codes and add more comments.
- Test for X86_FEATURE_HYPERVISOR CPU feature bit to enable/disable
unfair lock.
- Reduce unfair lock slowpath lock stealing frequency depending
on its distance from the queue head.
- Add performance data for IvyBridge-EX CPU.

[PATCH v7 00/11] qspinlock: a 4-byte queue spinlock with PV support
v6->v7:
- Remove an atomic operation from the 2-task contending code
- Shorten the names of some macros
- Make the queue waiter to attempt to steal lock when unfair lock is
enabled.
- Remove lock holder kick from the PV code and fix a race condition
- Run the unfair lock & PV code on overcommitted KVM guests to collect
performance data.
