pvqspinlock, x86: Implement the paravirt qspinlock call patching
Waiman Long (9):
qspinlock: A simple generic 4-byte queue spinlock
qspinlock, x86: Enable x86-64 to use queue spinlock
qspinlock: Extract out code snippets for the next patch
qspinlock: Use a simple write
optimization which will make the queue spinlock code perform
better than the generic implementation.

This patch adds the necessary XEN specific code to allow XEN to
support the CPU halting and kicking operations needed by the queue
spinlock PV code.

than both the PV ticketlock and qspinlock. The performance of the 2

This optimization is needed to make the qspinlock achieve performance
parity with ticket spinlock at light load.
All this is horribly broken on Alpha pre EV56 (and any other arch that
