Subject[PATCH v2 5/6] virt, sched: add cpu pinning to smp_call_sync_on_phys_cpu()
Date
Add generic virtualization support for pinning the current vcpu to a
specified physical cpu. As this operation isn't performance critical
(a very limited set of operations like BIOS calls and SMIs is expected
to need this) just add a hypervisor specific indirection.

Such a pinning should last as short as possible as it might block
sensible vcpu scheduling and maybe other hypervisor functions like
suspending the system which rely on scheduling. To ensure this don't
let the current thread be preempted while the vcpu is pinned in
smp_call_sync_on_phys_cpu().

V2: adapt to using workqueues
add include/linux/hypervisor.h to hide architecture specific stuff
from generic kernel code

In case paravirt maintainers don't want to be responsible for
include/linux/hypervisor.h I could take it.
