Another ack?

Why do we do that rather than just not defining yield_to_any() at all
and letting the build fail on that?

There's a condition somewhere that we know will false at compile time
and drop the call before linking?

_ASM_POWERPC_QSPINLOCK_PARAVIRT_H please.

Why's that in a header? Should that (eventually) go with the generic implementation?

default n is the default.
