From 7ae441eac521b2006c9f03c4f2a23582c07fd76d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Gleb Natapov Date: Thu, 31 Mar 2011 12:06:41 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] KVM: emulator: do not needlesly sync registers from emulator ctxt to vcpu Currently we sync registers back and forth before/after exiting to userspace for IO, but during IO device model shouldn't need to read/write the registers, so we can as well skip those sync points. The only exaception is broken vmware backdor interface. The new code sync registers content during IO only if registers are read from/written to by userspace in the middle of the IO operation and this almost never happens in practise.
