Extends Linux guest running on KVM hypervisor to support pv-ticketlocks.
During smp_boot_cpus paravirtualied KVM guest detects if the hypervisor has
required feature (KVM_FEATURE_PVLOCK_KICK) to support pv-ticketlocks. If so,
support for pv-ticketlocks is registered via pv_lock_ops.
Use KVM_HC_KICK_CPU hypercall to wakeup waiting/halted vcpu.

+Please drop all of these and replace with tracepoints in the appropriate spots. Everything else (including the historgram) can be reconstructed the tracepoints in userspace. -- error compiling committee.c: too many arguments to function
