    x86/kvm: Add "nopvspin" parameter to disable PV spinlocks · 05eee619
    Zhenzhong Duan authored
    There are cases where a guest tries to switch spinlocks to bare metal
    behavior (e.g. by setting "xen_nopvspin" on XEN platform and
    "hv_nopvspin" on HYPER_V).
    
    That feature is missed on KVM, add a new parameter "nopvspin" to disable
    PV spinlocks for KVM guest.
    
    The new 'nopvspin' parameter will also replace Xen and Hyper-V specific
    parameters in future patches.
    
    Define variable nopvsin as global because it will be used in future
    patches as above.
