Subject: [PATCH] x86: make mm/gup.c more virtualization friendly
Date: Wed, 17 Sep 2008 16:48:17 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <48D142E1.76E4.0078.0@novell.com> (raw)

Since pte_flags() is much cheaper than pte_val() in some virtualized
environments (namely, Xen), use the former whereever possible.
