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
