From 58fbbf26eb01cf6d92cf18da8d14b3a4af9c4b47 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kevin Tian Date: Tue, 30 Aug 2011 13:56:17 +0300 Subject: KVM: APIC: avoid instruction emulation for EOI writes Instruction emulation for EOI writes can be skipped, since sane guest simply uses MOV instead of string operations. This is a nice improvement when guest doesn't support x2apic or hyper-V EOI support. a single VM bandwidth is observed with ~8% bandwidth improvement (7.4Gbps->8Gbps), by saving ~5% cycles from EOI emulation.
