Subject: [PATCH 0/4 V11] Avoid soft lockup message when KVM is stopped by host

Changes from V10:
Return ioctl to per vcpu instead of per vm

Changes from V9:
Use kvm_for_each_vcpu to iterate online vcpu's

Changes from V8:
Make KVM_GUEST_PAUSED a per vm ioctl instead of per vcpu

Changes from V7:
Define KVM_CAP_GUEST_PAUSED and support check
Call mark_page_dirty () after setting PVCLOCK_GUEST_STOPPED

Changes from V6:
Use __this_cpu_and when clearing the PVCLOCK_GUEST_STOPPED flag

Changes from V5:
Collapse generic check_and_clear_guest_stopped into patch 2
Include check_and_clear_guest_stopped defintion to ia64, s390, and powerpc
Change check_and_clear_guest_stopped to use __get_cpu_var instead of taking the
 cpuid arg.
Protect check_and_clear_guest_stopped declaration with CONFIG_KVM_CLOCK check

Changes from V4:
Rename KVM_GUEST_PAUSED to KVMCLOCK_GUEST_PAUSED
Add description of KVMCLOCK_GUEST_PAUSED ioctl to api.txt

Changes from V3:
Include CC's on patch 3
