Today paravirtualization is a all-or-nothing game: either a kernel is
compiled with no paravirtualization support at all, or it is supporting
paravirtualized environments like Xen pv-guests or lguest additionally
to some paravirtualized tuning for KVM, Hyperv, VMWare or Xen
HVM-guests.

As support of pv-guests requires quite intrusive pv-hooks (e.g. all
access functions to page table entries, privileged instructions) it is
desirable to enable those hooks only in cases where support of
pv-guests is really desired.

With splitting up of Xen guest support into pv-guest support and
support for HVM-guests it is now possible to do the same for support
of paravirtualization: only if XEN_PV or LGUEST_GUEST are configured
full paravirtualization is required.

This patch series carves out pv-guest support form PARAVIRT by
introducing PARAVIRT_FULL config option selected by XEN_PV and
LGUEST_GUEST config options.

The series has been tested for 32 and 64 bit kernels without
PARAVIRT, with PARAVIRT, and with PARAVIRT + PARAVIRT_FULL configured.


Juergen Gross (10):
  x86: remove stale prototype from arch/x86/include/asm/pgalloc.h
  paravirt: remove unused function paravirt_disable_iospace()
  xen: move interrupt handling for pv guests under CONFIG_XEN_PV
    umbrella
  xen: remove non-pv test from arch/x86/xen/irq.c
  paravirt: add new PARAVIRT_FULL config item
  paravirt: split pv_cpu_ops for support of PARAVIRT_FULL
  paravirt: split pv_irq_ops for support of PARAVIRT_FULL
  paravirt: split pv_mmu_ops for support of PARAVIRT_FULL
  paravirt: split pv_info for support of PARAVIRT_FULL
  paravirt: merge pv_ops_* structures into one
