Subject[PATCH RESEND v2 0/3] KVM: Yield to IPI target if necessary
Date
The idea is from Xen, when sending a call-function IPI-many to vCPUs, 
yield if any of the IPI target vCPUs was preempted. 17% performance
increase of ebizzy benchmark can be observed in an over-subscribe
environment. (w/ kvm-pv-tlb disabled, testing TLB flush call-function
IPI-many since call-function is not easy to be trigged by userspace
workload).

v1 -> v2:
* check map is not NULL
* check map->phys_map[dest_id] is not NULL
* make kvm_sched_yield static
* change dest_id to unsinged long
