[PATCH 24/25] [PATCH] provide paravirt patching function

From: Glauber de Oliveira Costa
Date: Wed Aug 08 2007 - 03:15:05 EST


This patch introduces apply_paravirt(), a function that shall
be called by i386/alternative.c to apply replacements to
paravirt_functions. It is defined to an do-nothing function
if paravirt is not enabled.
