Subject: [PATCH 2/3] KVM: dynamise halt_poll_ns adjustment 

There are two new kernel parameters for changing the halt_poll_ns:
halt_poll_ns_grow and halt_poll_ns_shrink. halt_poll_ns_grow affects 
halt_poll_ns when an interrupt arrives and halt_poll_ns_shrink
does it when idle VCPU is detected. 

  halt_poll_ns_shrink/ |
  halt_poll_ns_grow    | interrupt arrives    | idle VCPU is detected
  ---------------------+----------------------+-------------------
  < 1                  |  = halt_poll_ns      |  = 0 
  < halt_poll_ns       | *= halt_poll_ns_grow | /= halt_poll_ns_shrink
  otherwise            | += halt_poll_ns_grow | -= halt_poll_ns_shrink

A third new parameter, halt_poll_ns_max, controls the maximal halt_poll_ns;
it is internally rounded down to a closest multiple of halt_poll_ns_grow.
