[RFC 0/3] arch/x86/kvm: Introduce PLE(pause loop exit) logic in SVM

From: Babu Moger

Started working on bringing the PLE(pause loop exit) logic from VMX
to SVM. We noticed some improvements in certain cases where numerious
pause is generated.

Please take a look. If you have any suggestions to make things better,
let me know.
