[PATCH v2] target-i386: add KVM_HINTS_DEDICATED performance hint

From: Wanpeng Li
Date: Fri Feb 09 2018 - 09:16:44 EST


From: Wanpeng Li <wanpengli@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Add KVM_HINTS_DEDICATED performance hint, guest checks this feature bit
to determine if they run on dedicated vCPUs, allowing optimizations such
as usage of qspinlocks.
