[PATCH 0/2] Disable ftrace during kvm guest entry/exit

["Naveen N. Rao" <naveen.n.rao@linux.vnet.ibm.com>]

This is a follow on from the RFC posted at:
https://www.mail-archive.com/linuxppc-dev@lists.ozlabs.org/msg130047.html

This series implements a new field in paca called 'ftrace_disabled' to 
be set whenever we want to skip function tracing. This is currently only 
used by KVM guest entry/exit and as such, it is guarded in CONFIG_KVM as 
suggested by Steven Rostedt. This has had some minimal testing, and I 
will continue to test it this week and report back if I see any issues.
