   # HEAD: 46938cc8ab91354e6d751dc0790ddb4244b6703a x86/paravirt: Rename paravirt_patch_site::instrtype to paravirt_patch_site::type

A handful of paravirt patching code enhancements to make it more robust 
against patching failures, and related cleanups and not so related 
cleanups - by Thomas Gleixner and myself.

 Thanks,

	Ingo
