Subject: Split the KVM pv-ops support by feature
References: bnc#556135, FATE#306453
Patch-Mainline: Submitted to virtualization list
Currently selecting KVM guest support enabled multiple features at once that
not everyone necessarily wants to have, namely:
- PV MMU
- zero io delay
- apic detection workaround
Let's split them off so we don't drag in the full pv-ops framework just to
detect we're running on KVM. That gives us more chances to tweak performance!

+ Usually we wait for PIO access to complete. When inside KVM there's
+ no need to do that, as we know that we're not going through a bus,
+ but process PIO requests instantly.
+
+ This option disables PIO waits, but drags in CPU-bound pv-ops. Thus
+ you will probably get more speed loss than speedup using this option.
+
+ If in doubt, say N.

+ ---help---
+ This option enables the paravirtualized MMU for KVM. In most cases
+ it's pretty useless and shouldn't be used.
+
+ It will only cost you performance, because it drags in pv-ops for
+ memory management.
+
+ If in doubt, say N.
