Subject: [PATCHv2 0/4] arm64:kvm: teach guest sched that VCPUs can be preempted

Hello,

This patch set adds a simple vcpu_is_preempted() implementation so
that scheduler can make better decisions when it search for the idle
(v)CPU.

For sched benchmarks please refer to [0].

- simplified and reworked some bits

Sergey Senozhatsky (4):
  arm64: smccc: Add SMCCC pv-vcpu-state function call IDs
  arm64: add guest pvstate support
  arm64: do not use dummy vcpu_is_preempted()
  arm64: add host pv-vcpu-state support
