NACK.  This is needed and used by thousands of installations.

Subject: [PATCH 3/3] x86/vsmp: remove vsmp paravirt support

vSMP has seen its last functional patch more than 3 years ago. It is
not clear whether the vSMP paravirtualized irq functions are still
needed.

Remove them as they seem to be optional and their existence is blocking
some simplification work of paravirt infrastructure.
