The patch, extends KVM-hypervisor and Linux guest running on
KVM-hypervisor to support pv-ticket spinlocks.

PV ticket spinlock helps to solve Lock Holder Preemption problem discussed in
http://www.amd64.org/fileadmin/user_upload/pub/LHP-commented_slides.pdf.

When spinlock is contended,a guest vcpu relinqueshes cpu by halt().
Correspondingly, One hypercall is introduced in KVM hypervisor,that allows
a vcpu to kick the halted vcpu to continue with execution.

Note:
Below patch should be applied only after corresponding
linux-header changes taken into qemu via scripts/update-linux-headers.sh script.
---
Changes in V3:
 rename PVLOCK_KICK --> PV_UNHALT
 add MSR related changes to aid migration

Changes in V2:
 Drop the syncing kernel header changes. (Alex) 
 rename KICK_VCPU --> PVLOCK_KICK.

Raghavendra K T(2):
 add PV_UNHALT feature support.
 add support to get/set vcpu unhalt msr to aid migration

Extend the KVM Hypervisor to enable PVLOCK_KICK feature that allows
a vcpu to kick the halted vcpu to continue with execution in PV ticket
spinlock.

Err, and where is it actually saved to/restored from the vmstate? You
are lacking an extension of the CPU vmstate, preferably via a substate.
See e.g. cpu/async_pf_msr.
