merge pv_eoi_get_pending and pv_eoi_clr_pending into a single function pv_eoi_test_and_clear_pending, which returns and clear the value of the pending bit. This makes it possible to clear the pending bit only if the guest had set it, and otherwise skip the call to pv_eoi_put_user(). This can save up to 300 nsec on AMD EPYC processors.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
