We've had ->read_tsc() and ->read_tscp() paravirt hooks since
the very beginning of paravirt, i.e.,

  d3561b7fa0fb ("[PATCH] paravirt: header and stubs for paravirtualisation").

AFAICT, the only paravirt guest implementation that ever
replaced these calls was vmware, and it's gone. Arguably even
vmware shouldn't have hooked RDTSC -- we fully support systems
that don't have a TSC at all, so there's no point for a paravirt
implementation to pretend that we have a TSC but to replace it.

I also doubt that these hooks actually worked. Calls to rdtscl()
and rdtscll(), which respected the hooks, were used seemingly
interchangeably with native_read_tsc(), which did not.

Just remove them. If anyone ever needs them again, they can try
to make a case for why they need them.

We use the regular paravirt call patching to switch between:

  native_queued_spin_lock_slowpath()	__pv_queued_spin_lock_slowpath()
  native_queued_spin_unlock()		__pv_queued_spin_unlock()

We use a callee saved call for the unlock function which reduces the
i-cache footprint and allows 'inlining' of SPIN_UNLOCK functions
again.

We further optimize the unlock path by patching the direct call with a
"movb $0,%arg1" if we are indeed using the native unlock code. This
makes the unlock code almost as fast as the !PARAVIRT case.

This significantly lowers the overhead of having
CONFIG_PARAVIRT_SPINLOCKS enabled, even for native code.

Impact: Optimization

Several paravirt ops implementations simply return their arguments,
the most obvious being the make_pte/pte_val class of operations on
native.

On 32-bit, the identity function is literally a no-op, as the calling
convention uses the same registers for the first argument and return.
On 64-bit, it can be implemented with a single "mov".

This patch adds special identity functions for 32 and 64 bit argument,
and machinery to recognize them and replace them with either nops or a
mov as appropriate.

At the moment, the only users for the identity functions are the
pagetable entry conversion functions.

The result is a measureable improvement on pagetable-heavy benchmarks
(2-3%, reducing the pvops overhead from 5 to 2%).

Don't conflate sysret and sysexit; they're different instructions with
different semantics, and may be in use at the same time (at least
within the same kernel, depending on whether its an Intel or AMD
system).

sysexit - just return to userspace, does no register restoration of
    any kind; must explicitly atomically enable interrupts.

sysret - reloads flags from r11, so no need to explicitly enable
    interrupts on 64-bit, responsible for restoring usermode %gs

The core patching code for paravirt is sufficiently different
among i386 and x86_64, and we move them to specific files.
