Add a static key controlling whether virt_spin_lock() should be
called or not. When running on bare metal set the new key to
false.

The KVM guests fall back to a Test-and-Set spinlock, because fair
locks have horrible lock 'holder' preemption issues. The
virt_spin_lock_key would shortcut for the
queued_spin_lock_slowpath() function that allow virt_spin_lock to
hijack it.

I suggest no _key, also there is no need for "= false".
To be consistent with enable_qspinlock, I also suggest
adding __ro_after_init:

static bool no_virt_spin __ro_after_init;

A new virt_no_spin kernel parameter was introduced, but without 
CONFIG_QUEUED_SPINLOCKS it will silently fail.

I would suggest an #else clause here with a function to print an error / 
warning message about no_virt_spin being invalid in this scenario.
It will probably help future debugging.

I am probably missing something out, but it looks to me that this patch is 
causing 2 different changes:
1 - Enabling no_virt_spin parameter
2 - Disabling queued spinlocks for some firmware_id

Wouldn't be better to split those changes in multiple patches? 
Or am I missing the point on why they need to be together?

Thanks!

If CONFIG_QUEUED_SPINLOCKS=n, no_virt_spin should be quiet. The
no_virt_spin is one path of qspinlock.

IIUC having no_virt_spin being passed as parameter to a kernel with
CONFIG_QUEUED_SPINLOCKS=n is not supposed to have any warning this 
parameter is useless. 

I was just thinking it would be nice to have this warning during debugging, 
but if it's standard practice then I am ok with this.

Yes, I think it's okay, e.g.,
x86: early_param("hv_nopvspin", hv_parse_nopvspin);
depends on CONFIG_PARAVIRT_SPINLOCKS=y
