Subject: [PATCH RFC V3 2/4] kvm hypervisor : Add a hypercall to KVM hypervisor to support pv-ticketlocks

Add a hypercall to KVM hypervisor to support pv-ticketlocks 

KVM_HC_KICK_CPU allows the calling vcpu to kick another vcpu out of halt state.
    
The presence of these hypercalls is indicated to guest via
KVM_FEATURE_KICK_VCPU/KVM_CAP_KICK_VCPU.

Qemu needs a corresponding patch to pass up the presence of this feature to 
guest via cpuid. Patch to qemu will be sent separately.

There is no Xen/KVM hypercall interface to await kick from.
