This patch-series implements paravirt-spinlock implementation for KVM guests,

implementation to make it common for both Xen and KVM - but found that
few differences between Xen and KVM (Xen has the ability to block on a
particular event/irq for example) _and_ the fact that the guest kernel
can be compiled to support both Xen and KVM hypervisors (CONFIG_XEN and
CONFIG_KVM_GUEST can both be turned on) makes the "common" code a eye-sore.
There will have to be:

        if (xen) {
                ...
        } else if (kvm) {
                ..
        }

or possibly:

        alternative(NOP, some_xen_specific_call, ....)

type of code in the common implementation.

I do think things are pretty common. If that is the only issue, you can use a plain function vector, no?
