This patch introduces kvm_para_has_hint() to query for hints about the configuration of the guests. The first hint KVM_HINTS_DEDICATED, is set if the guest has dedicated physical CPUs for each vCPU (i.e. pinning and no over-commitment). This allows optimizing spinlocks and tells the guest to avoid PV TLB flush.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
