[PATCH 0/5] x86/paravirt: clean up paravirt.h and optimise FPU context switch

[Jeremy Fitzhardinge]

Hi Ingo,

This series:
 - splits asm/paravirt.h into paravirt.h and paravirt_types.h
 - splits out the context switch core of math_state_restore into __math_state_restore
 - rearranges 32 and 64 bit context switch to be the same and to properly
   batch FPU context switches when running paravirtualized

There should be no performance side-effects of these changes.  They amount
to a small rearrangement of the existing code (and bringing the 64-bit
code a bit closer to 32-bit, countering some genetic drift).

I think these are probably safe to go into this merge window, but I
don't think I've posted these before, so I understand if you're hesitant
(I've had them applied locally for some time with no ill-effects).
The paravirt cleanup is pure movement between headers, so I don't think
there's much risk there at all.
