There are cases folks want to disable spinlock optimization for
debug/test purpose. Xen and hyperv already have parameters "xen_nopvspin"
and "hv_nopvspin" to support that, but kvm doesn't.
The first patch adds that feature to KVM guest with "nopvspin".
For compatibility reason original parameters "xen_nopvspin" and
"hv_nopvspin" are retained and marked obsolete.
v2:
PATCH1: pick the print code change into seperate PATCH2,
updated patch description [Vitaly Kuznetsov]
PATCH2: new patch with print code change [Vitaly Kuznetsov]
PATCH3: add Reviewed-by [Juergen Gross]
Thanks

1.8.3.1
There are cases where a guest tries to switch spinlocks to bare metal
behavior (e.g. by setting "xen_nopvspin" on XEN platform and
"hv_nopvspin" on HYPER_V).
That feature is missed on KVM, add a new parameter "nopvspin" to disable
PV spinlocks for KVM guest.
This new parameter is also used to replace "xen_nopvspin" and
"hv_nopvspin".
The global variable pvspin isn't defined as __initdata as it's used at
runtime by XEN guest.

Sorry, please ignore this mail thread, just found the indentation in
PATCH2 is wrong. I'll send a v3 later.
