KVM: disable halt_poll_ns as default for s390x
We observed some performance degradation on s390x with dynamic halt polling. Until we can provide a proper fix, let's enable halt_poll_ns as default only for supported architectures. Architectures are now free to set their own halt_poll_ns default value. Signed-off-by: David Hildenbrand <dahi@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
