Subject: [PATCH v3 1/2] paravirt/locks: use new static key for controlling call of virt_spin_lock()
There are cases where a guest tries to switch spinlocks to bare metal
behavior (e.g. by setting "xen_nopvspin" boot parameter). Today this
has the downside of falling back to unfair test and set scheme for
qspinlocks due to virt_spin_lock() detecting the virtualized
environment.
Add a static key controlling whether virt_spin_lock() should be
called or not. When running on bare metal set the new key to false.
