x86, paravirt-spinlocks: fix boot hang
the paravirt-spinlock patches caused a boot hang with this config:
http://redhat.com/~mingo/misc/config-Wed_Jul__9_14_47_04_CEST_2008.bad
i have bisected it down to:
| commit e17b58c2e85bc2ad2afc07fb8d898017c2b75ed1

| xen: implement Xen-specific spinlocks
i.e. applying that patch alone causes the hang. The hang happens in the
ftrace self-test:
initcall utsname_sysctl_init+0x0/0x19 returned 0 after 0 msecs
calling init_sched_switch_trace+0x0/0x4c
Testing tracer sched_switch: PASSED
initcall init_sched_switch_trace+0x0/0x4c returned 0 after 167 msecs
calling init_function_trace+0x0/0x12
Testing tracer ftrace:
[hard hang]
it should have continued like this:
Testing tracer ftrace: PASSED
initcall init_function_trace+0x0/0x12 returned 0 after 198 msecs
calling init_irqsoff_tracer+0x0/0x14
Testing tracer irqsoff: PASSED
initcall init_irqsoff_tracer+0x0/0x14 returned 0 after 3 msecs
calling init_mmio_trace+0x0/0x12
initcall init_mmio_trace+0x0/0x12 returned 0 after 0 msecs
the problem is that such lowlevel primitives as spinlocks should never
be built with -pg (which ftrace does). Marking paravirt.o as non-pg and
marking all spinlock ops as always-inline solve the hang.
