similar to: [PATCH] xen: remove Kconfig dependency on X86_TSC

This seems to have been added in f0f32fccbffa to avoid a conflict arising from the long deceased ARCH_SETUP() macro and subsequently pushed down to the XEN option. As far as I can tell the conflict is no longer present and by dropping the dependency I was able to build a kernel which has both CONFIG_XEN and CONFIG_X86_VISWS enabled and boot it on Xen. I didn't try it on the VISWS platform.

The ARM platform has no concept of PVMMU and therefor no HYPERVISOR_update_va_mapping et al. Allow this code to be compiled out when not required. In some similar situations (e.g. P2M) we have defined dummy functions to avoid this, however I think we can/should draw the line at dummying out actual hypercalls.

Group all the "guest OS" support options together, under CONFIG_PARAVIRT. Make this a proper menu item so it looks neater on menuconfig etc, and make the wording for each prompt uniform.

(Unless there are complaints, I'll push this as part of the lguest patches for 2.6.24, since there are lguest config changes there too). Andi points out that PARAVIRT is an option best selected when needed. We introduce PARAVIRT_GUEST for the menu itself, and select PARAVIRT if the user turns on anything which needs it.

This series contain fixes to make the paravirt_ops code compile and boot on x86_64. This is a follow-up for the previous series from Glauber.

Introduce the basic VMI sub-arch configuration dependencies. VMI kernels only are designed to run on modern hardware platforms. As such, they require a working APIC, and do not support some legacy functionality, including APM BIOS, ISA and MCA bus systems, PCI BIOS interfaces, or PnP BIOS (by implication of dropping ISA support). They also require a P6 series CPU. Signed-off-by: Zachary Amsden

Respin of the paravirt clock patch series. On the host side the kvm paravirt clock is made compatible with the xen clock. On the guest side some xen code has been factored out into a separate source file shared by both kvm and xen clock implementations. This time it should work ok for kvm smp guests ;) cheers, Gerd

paravirt clock source patches, next round, with a bunch of changes in the host code according to Avi's review comments and some minor code tweaks. cheers, Gerd

paravirt clock source patches, next round. There is now a pvclock-abi.h file with the structs and some longish comments in it and everybody is switched over to use the stuff in there. Some minor tweaks after super-fast review by Jeremy. The queue is on top of the kvm git tree. The first two patches should have no kvm dependencies and should apply to linus tree just fine. cheers, Gerd
