v1->v2: - Make pv_spinlock_type a bit mask for easier checking. - Add patch 2 to deprecate xen_nopvspin
v1 - https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/11/1/381
Patch 1 adds a new pvlock_type parameter for the administrators to specify the type of lock to be used in a para-virtualized kernel.
Patch 2 deprecates Xen's xen_nopvspin parameter as it is no longer needed.
