[PATCH 4/4] KVM: VMX: Use shared msr infrastructure
From: Avi Kivity
Date: Wed Sep 16 2009 - 08:46:29 EST
Instead of reloading syscall MSRs on every preemption, use the new shared
msr infrastructure to reload them at the last possible minute (just before
exit to userspace).
Improves vcpu/idle/vcpu switches by about 2000 cycles (when EFER needs to be
reloaded as well).
