Yes. I've done the obvious candidates below (as well as responding to
some of your other points). Many ops are one-liners, and I don't want
to cause too much additional churn.
Cheers!
Rusty.
Subject: Paravirtualization Kleenups
1) Add "cheatsheet" comments to entry.S about macros.
2) Use weak alias for init_IRQ -> native_init_IRQ in !CONFIG_PARAVIRT case.
This removes an #ifdef.
3) Use shiny new start_kernel.h rather than another declaration.
4) Avoid duplication in paravirt.c: rename set_ldt to native_set_ldt,
and use macro in !PARAVIRT case.
5) Same trick for apic ops.
There are other cases where we could use a renaming+macro similar
trick to avoid duplication, but they're generally one-liners.
