445c89514b locking: Convert raw_spinlock to arch_spinlock
The raw_spin* namespace was taken by lockdep for the architecture
specific implementations. raw_spin_* would be the ideal name space for
the spinlocks which are not converted to sleeping locks in preempt-rt.

Linus suggested to convert the raw_ to arch_ locks and cleanup the
name space instead of using an artifical name like core_spin,
atomic_spin or whatever

No functional change.

afb33f8c0d x86: remove byte locks
Impact: cleanup

Remove byte locks implementation, which was introduced by Jeremy in
8efcbab6 ("paravirt: introduce a "lock-byte" spinlock implementation"),
but turned out to be dead code that is not used by any in-kernel
virtualization guest (Xen uses its own variant of spinlocks implementation
and KVM is not planning to move to byte locks).

087052b02f x86: fix default_spin_lock_flags() prototype
these warnings:

  arch/x86/kernel/paravirt-spinlocks.c: In function ‘default_spin_lock_flags’:
  arch/x86/kernel/paravirt-spinlocks.c:12: warning: passing argument 1 of ‘__raw_spin_lock’ from incompatible pointer type
  arch/x86/kernel/paravirt-spinlocks.c: At top level:
  arch/x86/kernel/paravirt-spinlocks.c:11: warning: ‘default_spin_lock_flags’ defined but not used

showed that the prototype of default_spin_lock_flags() was confused about
what type spinlocks have.

the proper type on UP is raw_spinlock_t.

25258ef762 x86: export pv_lock_ops non-GPL
None of the spinlock API is exported GPL, so there's no reason for
pv_lock_ops to be.

63d3a75d6f x86/paravirt: add spin_lock_flags lock op
It is useful for a pv_lock_ops backend to know whether interrupts are
enabled or not in the context a spin_lock is being called.  This
allows it to enable interrupts while spinning, which could be
particularly helpful when spinning becomes blocking.

The default implementation just calls the normal spin_lock op,
ignoring the flags.

d5de884135 x86: split spinlock implementations out into their own files
ftrace requires certain low-level code, like spinlocks and timestamps,
to be compiled without -pg in order to avoid infinite recursion.  This
patch splits out the core paravirt spinlocks and the Xen spinlocks
into separate files which can be compiled without -pg.

Also do xen/time.c while we're about it.  As a result, we can now use
ftrace within a Xen domain.
