Subject: x86/paravirt: Replace io_delay() hook with a bool
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=9eece498565c3fd5f37efe58498779efd39f2269;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Flinux.git

x86/paravirt: Replace io_delay() hook with a bool

The io_delay() paravirt hook is in no way performance critical and all users
setting it to a different function than native_io_delay() are using an empty
function as replacement.

Allow replacing the hook with a bool indicating whether native_io_delay()
should be called.
