[PATCH v4 06/11] viridian: use softirq batching in hvcall_ipi()



From: Paul Durrant <pdurrant@xxxxxxxxxx>

vlapic_ipi() uses a softirq batching mechanism to improve the efficiency of
sending a IPIs to large number of processors. This patch modifies send_ipi()
(the worker function called by hvcall_ipi()) to also make use of the
mechanism when there multiple bits set the hypercall_vpmask.

v2:
 - Don't add the 'nr' field to struct hypercall_vpmask and use
   bitmap_weight() instead
