Subject: [PATCH 2/3] xen: Mark "xen_nopvspin" parameter obsolete and map it to "nopvspin"
Date: Sun, 29 Sep 2019 20:21:05 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1569759666-26904-3-git-send-email-zhenzhong.duan@oracle.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1569759666-26904-1-git-send-email-zhenzhong.duan@oracle.com>

Fix stale description of "xen_nopvspin" as we use qspinlock now.
