Subject: [PATCH v2 0/4] KVM: optimize the kvm_vcpu_on_spin
This is a simple optimization for kvm_vcpu_on_spin, the
main idea is described in patch-1's commit msg.
I did some tests base on the RFC version, the result shows
that it can improves the performance slightly.
== Geekbench-3.4.1 ==
VM1: 8U,4G, vcpu(0...7) is 1:1 pinned to pcpu(6...11,18,19)
running Geekbench-3.4.1 *10 truns*
VM2/VM3/VM4: configure is the same as VM1
stress each vcpu usage(seed by top in guest) to 40%
The comparison of each testcase's score:
(higher is better)

Changes since V1:
- split the implementation of s390 & arm. [David]
- refactor the impls according to the suggestion. [Paolo]
Changes since RFC:
- only cache result for X86. [David & Cornlia & Paolo]
- add performance numbers. [David]
- impls arm/s390. [Christoffer & David]
- refactor the impls. [me]

Longpeng(Mike) (4):
KVM: add spinlock optimization framework
KVM: X86: implement the logic for spinlock optimization
KVM: s390: implements the kvm_arch_vcpu_in_kernel()
KVM: arm: implements the kvm_arch_vcpu_in_kernel()
