[Xen-devel] [PATCH v5 00/14] x86: remove paravirt_enabled()

["Luis R. Rodriguez" <mcgrof@xxxxxxxxxx>]

This v5 updates the subarch documentation to annotate that
X86_SUBARCH_XEN can be use for both Xen dom0 and domU, and
adds an optional x86_platform.set_legacy_features() in order
to deal with further platform legacy fine tunings when the
platform requires further semantics than what is currently
available generically, and we've determined we don't need
these semantics added in a generic form to x86. In this case
this was needed for Xen given X86_SUBARCH_XEN can be used for
both dom0 and domU and Xen needs to enable RTC for dom0.

I suspect the hook can possibly later be used for further
fine tunings for HVMLite as it will use X86_SUBARCH_PC, so
its placed towards the end of x86_early_init_platform_quirks()
to enable any platform to take advantage of this.

This also updates the commit logs a bit more to make some
clarifications, and lists the impact of vmlinux size as per
trusty good 'ol 0-day.

The total size impact on vmlinux using i386-tinyconfig:

TOTAL   TEXT   init.text   x86_early_init_platform_quirks()
+136    +125   +125        +96

In total that's only 11 byte overhead, 125 bytes are all .init.text
and that's all freed after boot.
