v8->v9:
- Integrate PeterZ's version of the queue spinlock patch with some
modification:

- Break the more complex patches into smaller ones to ease review effort.
- Fix a racing condition in the PV qspinlock code.
I am not seeing anything mentioning that the overcommit scenario
for KVM and Xen had been fixed. Or was the 'racing condition' said
issue?
Thanks.
The hanging is caused by a racing condition which should be fixed in
the v9 patch. Please let me know if you are still seeing it.
OK, is there a git tree with these patches to easily slurp them up?
I am sorry that I don't have a public git tree with the qspinlock
patches. However, I have made a consolidated patch (patches 1-19) in the
attached file. Hopefully that will make it easier to apply the patch.
BTW, it has to be on top of 3.15-rc1 or later version. This may also be
a conflict in the xen/spinlock.c file.
