kvm hypervisor : Add a hypercall to KVM hypervisor to support pv-ticketlocks

From: Srivatsa Vaddagiri <redacted>

kvm_hc_kick_cpu allows the calling vcpu to kick another vcpu out of halt state.
the presence of these hypercalls is indicated to guest via
kvm_feature_pv_unhalt.

Lets make it hypercall with two parameters:
a0 - flags
a1 - apic id of a cpu to kick

A0 have to be zero. This will make it more extensible.
Good point. 'll incorporate that.
