[PATCH 075/104] KVM: VMX: Use shadow TPR/cr8 for 64-bits guests

Avi Kivity
2007-09-17T08:49:27Z

From: Yang, Sheng <sheng.yang@intel.com>

This patch enables TPR shadow of VMX on CR8 access. 64bit Windows using
CR8 access TPR frequently. The TPR shadow can improve the performance of
access TPR by not causing vmexit.
