Several kvm architectures disable interrupts before kvm_guest_enter.
kvm_guest_enter then uses local_irq_save/restore to disable interrupts
again or for the first time. Lets provide underscore versions of
kvm_guest_{enter|exit} that assume being called locked.
kvm_guest_enter now disables interrupts for the full function and
thus we can remove the check for preemptible.

This patch then adopts s390/kvm to use local_irq_disable/enable calls
which are slighty cheaper that local_irq_save/restore and call these
new functions.

Please keep the BUG_ON() in kvm_guest_enter.  Otherwise looks good, thanks!

would be 
	BUG_ON(!irqs_disabled())
then?

Ah, you mean have the BUG_ON in the non underscore version? Yes, makes sense.

Hmmm, too quick.
the BUG_ON was there to make sure that rcu_virt_note_context_switch is safe.
The reworked code pulls the rcu_virt_note_context_switch within the irq_save
section so we no longer need this BUG_ON, no?

Right.  I can apply the patches then!
