I think I should have added Acked-by and resent full patch. So here is 
it. sorry for duplicate mail.

Often when a guest is stopped from the qemu console, it will report spurious
soft lockup warnings on resume.  There are kernel patches being 
discussed that
will give the host the ability to tell the guest that it is being 
stopped and
should ignore the soft lockup warning that generates.  This patch uses 
the qemu
Notifier system to tell the guest it is about to be stopped.

Changes from V7:
  capabilty changed to KVM_CAP_KVMCLOCK_CTRL
  KVM_GUEST_PAUSED is pervcpu again
  CPUState renamed to CPUArchState
  KVMCLOCK_GUEST_PAUSED changed to  KVM_KVMCLOCK_CTRL
  incorporated Andrea's comments (__FUNCTION__) etc

Changes from V6:
  Remove unnecessary include

Changes from V5:
  KVM_GUEST_PAUSED is now a per vm ioctl instead of per vcpu

Changes from V4:
  Test if the guest paused capability is available before use

Changes from V3:
  Collapse new state change notification function into existsing function.
  Correct whitespace issues
  Change ioctl name to KVMCLOCK_GUEST_PAUSED
  Use for loop to iterate vpcu's

Changes from V2:
  Move ioctl into hw/kvmclock.c so as other arches can use it as it is
implemented

Changes from V1:
  Remove unnecessary encapsulating function
