similar to: [PATCH] ia64/pv_ops: documentation on ia64/pv_ops

From: "Luis R. Rodriguez" <mcgrof at suse.com> The general documentation we have for pv_ops is currenty present on the IA64 docs, but since this documentation covers IA64 xen enablement and IA64 Xen support got ripped out a while ago through commit d52eefb47 present since v3.14-rc1 lets just simplify, generalize and move the pv_ops documentation to a shared place.

This patch implements a checker to detect instructions which should be paravirtualized instead of direct writing raw instruction. This patch does rough check so that it doesn't fully cover all cases, but it can detects most cases of paravirtualization breakage of hand written assembly codes.

Hi. This patchset is preparation patches for ia64/pv_ops support.

Hi. This patchset implements ia64/pv_ops support which is the framework for virtualization support. Now all the comments so far have been addressed, but only a few exceptions. On x86 various ways to support virtualization were proposed, and eventually pv_ops won. So on ia64 the pv_ops strategy is appropriate too. Later I'll post the patchset which implements xen domU based on ia64/pv_ops.
