So this will get called on any system which has CONFIG_PARAVIRT enabled
*even* if they're not running any guests.
Huh?
Borislav,
think twice, it is better to run ander an IF condition, to make
sure they are running any guests.

Borislav ,
yes, this will get called on any system which has CONFIG_PARAVIRT
enabled.
but if they are not running any guests, the callback is
paravirt_nop() ,
IIUC which is as similar as the other paravirt_*, such as
paravirt_pgd_free()..
