Subject[PATCH v3 2/3] x86/vmware: Add basic paravirt ops support
Date
Add basic paravirt support:
1. set pv_info.name to "VMware hypervisor" to have proper boot log message
Booting paravirtualized kernel on VMware hypervisor
instead of "... on bare hardware"
2. set pv_cpu_ops.io_delay() to empty function - paravirt_nop() to
avoid vm-exits on IO delays.
