[win-pv-devel] [PATCH] Reduce priority of suspend thread

[Paul Durrant <pdurrant@xxxxxxxxx>]

In cycles of repeated suspend/resume attempt to make sure other threads
get to run by:

a) Dropping the priority of the suspend thread as low as possible.
b) Deliberately waiting for DPSc on other CPUs to complete before
   checking xenstore again.
