Subject: [PATCH v2] KVM: x86: add paging gcc optimization
Date: Thu, 08 Mar 2012 12:45:54 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1331207154.28711.2.camel@offworld> (raw)
From: Davidlohr Bueso <dave@gnu.org>
Since most guests will have paging enabled for memory management, add likely() optimization
around CR0.PG checks.
