Rusty Russell 139ec7c416 [PATCH] paravirt: Patch inline replacements for paravirt intercepts
It turns out that the most called ops, by several orders of magnitude,
are the interrupt manipulation ops.  These are obvious candidates for
patching, so mark them up and create infrastructure for it.

The method used is that the ops structure has a patch function, which
is called for each place which needs to be patched: this returns a
number of instructions (the rest are NOP-padded).

Usually we can spare a register (%eax) for the binary patched code to
use, but in a couple of critical places in entry.S we can't: we make
the clobbers explicit at the call site, and manually clobber the
allowed registers in debug mode as an extra check.

And:

Don't abuse CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL, add CONFIG_DEBUG_PARAVIRT.

And:

AK:  Fix warnings in x86-64 alternative.c build

And:

AK: Fix compilation with defconfig

And:

^From: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org>

Some binutlises still like to emit references to __stop_parainstructions and
__start_parainstructions.

And:

AK: Fix warnings about unused variables when PARAVIRT is disabled.

* The SMP alternative tables can be kept after boot and contain both
* UP and SMP versions of the instructions to allow switching back to
* SMP at runtime, when hotplugging in a new CPU, which is especially
* useful in virtualized environments.
*
* The very common lock prefix is handled as special case in a
* separate table which is a pure address list without replacement ptr
* and size information. That keeps the table sizes small.
