Subject: [RFC 0/3] arch/x86/kvm: Introduce PLE(pause loop exit) logic in SVM

Started working on bringing the PLE(pause loop exit) logic from VMX
to SVM. We noticed some improvements in certain cases where numerious
pause is generated.

Please take a look. If you have any suggestions to make things better,
let me know.
