[PATCH v6 4/5] x86/paravirt: switch mixed paravirt/alternative calls to alternative_2
From: Juergen Gross
Date: Sun Dec 10 2023 - 01:22:19 EST
Instead of stacking alternative and paravirt patching, use the new
ALT_FLAG_CALL flag to switch those mixed calls to pure alternative
handling.
This eliminates the need to be careful regarding the sequence of
alternative and paravirt patching.

V5:
- remove no longer needed extern declarations from alternative.c
(Boris Petkov)
- add comment about ALTERNATIVE[_2]() macro usage (Boris Petkov)
- rebase to tip/master (Boris Petkov)
V6:
- fix SAVE_FLAGS macro (Boris Petkov)
