[PATCH] x86/paravirt: use common macro for creating simple asm paravirt functions

[PATCH] x86/paravirt: use common macro for creating simple asm paravirt functions

[Juergen Gross]

There are some paravirt assembler functions which are sharing a common
pattern. Introduce a macro DEFINE_PARAVIRT_ASM() for creating them.

The explicit _paravirt_nop() prototype in paravirt.c isn't needed, as
it is included in paravirt_types.h already.

Hi Juergen,

Sorry for the delay in reviewing this patch!

I just wanted to make a note that the part of this patch that's not
purely cleanup is the addition of the alignment (__ALIGN_STR) to
__raw_callee_save___kvm_vcpu_is_preempted(), _paravirt_nop() and
paravirt_ret0(). Maybe that's worth calling out in the commit message?
