[PATCH] paravirt: header and stubs for paravirtualisation
Create a paravirt.h header for all the critical operations which need to be
replaced with hypervisor calls, and include that instead of defining native
operations, when CONFIG_PARAVIRT.
This patch does the dumbest possible replacement of paravirtualized
instructions: calls through a "paravirt_ops" structure. Currently these are
function implementations of native hardware: hypervisors will override the ops
structure with their own variants.
All the pv-ops functions are declared "fastcall" so that a specific
register-based ABI is used, to make inlining assember easier.
And:
+From: Andy Whitcroft <apw@shadowen.org>
The paravirt ops introduce a 'weak' attribute onto memory_setup().
Code ordering leads to the following warnings on x86:
arch/i386/kernel/setup.c:651: warning: weak declaration of
`memory_setup' after first use results in unspecified behavior
Move memory_setup() to avoid this.
