    kernel - Improve SPINLOCK, acpi_timer performance under qemu/kvm/VMs
    
    * Improve acpi_timer 24-bit performance by reducing use of clock_lock().
    
    * Integrate a delta test into acpi_cputimer.base and remove the
      out-of-band tracking globals.  We can query the timer and calculate
      the return value for deltas less than 1/16 full-range.  Beyond
      that range we need to get the clock_lock() to calculate the high
      24 bits safely and update acpi_cputimer.base.
    
      On SMP systems, cpu #1 will update acpi_cputimer.base more
      frequently, reducing the chance that multiple cpus will need the
      clock_lock() at the same time.
    
    * Refactor the safe24 code to make it easier to use.
    
    * Improve the regressive SPINLOCK assembly macro, bringing it up to
      modern performance levels.  This fixes unnecessary cache ping-ponging
      during contention.
