Subject: [PATCH v3 2/3] x86/vmware: Add basic paravirt ops support
Date: Fri, 28 Oct 2016 00:54:31 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20161028075432.90579-3-amakhalov@vmware.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20161028075432.90579-1-amakhalov@vmware.com>

Add basic paravirt support:
 1. set pv_info.name to "VMware hypervisor" to have proper boot log message
	Booting paravirtualized kernel on VMware hypervisor
    instead of "... on bare hardware"
 2. set pv_cpu_ops.io_delay() to empty function - paravirt_nop() to
    avoid vm-exits on IO delays.
