[PATCH 0/3] KVM: Yield to IPI target if necessary

[Wanpeng Li]

The idea is from Xen, when sending a call-function IPI-many to vCPUs, 
yield if any of the IPI target vCPUs was preempted. 17% performace 
increase of ebizzy benchmark can be observed in an over-subscribe 
environment. (w/ kvm-pv-tlb disabled, testing TLB flush call-function 
IPI-many since call-function is not easy to be trigged by userspace 
workload).
