There are cases folks want to disable spinlock optimization for
debug/test purpose. Xen and hyperv already have parameters "xen_nopvspin"
and "hv_nopvspin" to support that, but kvm doesn't.

The first patch adds that feature to KVM guest with "nopvspin".

For compatibility reason original parameters "xen_nopvspin" and
"hv_nopvspin" are retained and marked obsolete.

v2:
PATCH1: pick the print code change into seperate PATCH2,
updated patch description [Vitaly Kuznetsov]
PATCH2: new patch with print code change [Vitaly Kuznetsov]

Sorry, please ignore this mail thread, just found the indentation in PATCH2 is wrong. I'll send a v3 later.

Thanks
