Subject: [PATCH 00/10] x86/paravirt: several cleanups

This series removes some no longer needed stuff from paravirt
infrastructure and puts large quantities of paravirt ops under a new
config option PARAVIRT_XXL which is selected by XEN_PV only.

A pvops kernel without XEN_PV being configured is about 2.5% smaller
with this series applied.

tip commit 5800dc5c19f34e6e03b5adab1282535cb102fafd ("x86/paravirt:
Fix spectre-v2 mitigations for paravirt guests") is a prerequisite
for this series.

The last 4 patches of this series require my Xen cleanup series
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20180717120113.12756-1-jgross@suse.com/
which hides more Xen PV-only code behind CONFIG_XEN_PV.

Juergen Gross (10):
  x86/paravirt: make paravirt_patch_call() and paravirt_patch_jmp()
    static
  x86/paravirt: remove clobbers parameter from paravirt patch functions
  x86/paravirt: remove clobbers from struct paravirt_patch_site
  x86/paravirt: use a single ops structure
  x86/paravirt: remove unused paravirt bits
  x86/paravirt: introduce new config option PARAVIRT_XXL
  x86/paravirt: move items in pv_info under PARAVIRT_XXL umbrella
  x86/paravirt: move the Xen-only pv_cpu_ops under the PARAVIRT_XXL
    umbrella
  x86/paravirt: move the Xen-only pv_irq_ops under the PARAVIRT_XXL
    umbrella
  x86/paravirt: move the Xen-only pv_mmu_ops under the PARAVIRT_XXL
    umbrella
