[PATCH] i386: PARAVIRT: Use patch site IDs computed from offset in paravirt_ops structure
Use patch type identifiers derived from the offset of the operation in
the paravirt_ops structure. This avoids having to maintain a separate
enum for patch site types.
Also, since the identifier is derived from the offset into
paravirt_ops, the offset can be derived from the identifier. This is
used to remove replicated information in the various callsite macros,
which has been a source of bugs in the past.
This patch also drops the fused save_fl+cli operation, which doesn't
really add much and makes things more complex - specifically because
it breaks the 1:1 relationship between identifiers and offsets. If
this operation turns out to be particularly beneficial, then the right
answer is to define a new entrypoint for it.
