Add a _paravirt_nop function for use as a stub for no-op operations,

This is useful to allow the patcher to automatically identify noop 
operations so it can simply nop out the callsite.

Acked-by: Ingo Molnar <redacted>

+void _paravirt_nop(void);
+#define paravirt_nop	((void *)_paravirt_nop)

but only as a cleanup of the current open-coded (void *) casts. My 
problem with this is that it loses the types. Not that there is much to 
check for, but still, this adds some assumptions about how function 
calls look like.
