The ability to detect if the system is running in a shared processor
mode is helpful in few more generic cases not just in
paravirtualization.
For example: At boot time, different scheduler/ topology flags may be
set based on the processor mode. Hence move it to a more generic file.

I'd rather you just included paravirt.h in the few files where you need it.

I thought, detecting if a Processor was shared or not was more a
smp/processor related than a paravirt related.

It's both really :)

It's definitely paravirt related though, because if we weren't
*para*virt then we wouldn't know there was a hypervisor at all :)

But having smaller more focused headers is preferable in general just
for mechanical reasons.
