[PATCH v2 00/16] Move vcpu_load and vcpu_put calls to arch code

[Christoffer Dall]

Some architectures may decide to do different things during
kvm_arch_vcpu_load depending on the ioctl being executed.  For example,
arm64 is about to do significant work in vcpu load/put when running a
vcpu, but it's problematic to do this for any other vcpu ioctl than
KVM_RUN.

Further, while it may be possible to call kvm_arch_vcpu_load() for a
number of non-KVM_RUN ioctls, it makes the KVM/ARM code more difficult
to reason about, especially after my optimization series, because a lot
of things can now happen, where we have to consider if we're really in
the process of running a vcpu or not.

This series will first move the vcpu_load() and vcpu_put() calls in the
arch generic dispatch function into each case of the switch statement
and then, one-by-one, pushed the calls down into the architecture
specific code making the changes for each ioctl as required.

Patches also available at:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cdall/linux.git vcpu-load-put-v2

Changes since v1:
 - Fix PPC and S390 bugs from v1
 - Take the mutex in the main disaptcher function and make vcpu_load a
   void, which simplifies the patches overall.
 - Add a patch that moves vcpu_load for arm/arm64 after the first-run
   init function.

Thanks,
