Re: [libvirt] [PATCH 00/23] Better approach to add the "pvticketlocks" feature

The paravirtual spinlock feature was introduced recently into the qemu and linux code base. To test it you need the most recent -rc version of the linux kernel and the git version of qemu. As the requirements to activate this feature in the guest are really volatile (kernel support, qemu support .. .) I decided to improve the original version so that it detects if the feature was actually enabled in the guest. This avoids possible problems with breaking guest ABI when migrating between two hosts with different kernels. Additionally we may start enforcin other features too. This patchset is partialy based on Jiri's work on getting actual cpu definition from a running qemu.
