[PATCH 22/36] KVM: ppc: save and restore guest mappings on context switch

From: Avi Kivity
Date: Sun Dec 14 2008 - 03:18:22 EST


From: Hollis Blanchard <hollisb@xxxxxxxxxx>

Store shadow TLB entries in memory, but only use it on host context switch
(instead of every guest entry). This improves performance for most workloads on
440 by reducing the guest TLB miss rate.
