[Qemu-devel] [patch 2/2] qemu: kvm: support RT_PRIO_HC hypercall

[Marcelo Tosatti]

Add the following CPU options:

allow-rt-prio-hc: allow guest to execute hypercall to change vcpu 
thread priority.

rt-prio: SCHED_FIFO priority to be used when that hypercall is invoked.

See kernel patchset for details about this hypercall.
