Subject: [PATCH v6 06/31] KVM: nSVM: Refactor checking LBRV enablement in vmcb12 into a helper
Date: Tue, 24 Feb 2026 22:33:40 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260224223405.3270433-7-yosry@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260224223405.3270433-1-yosry@kernel.org>
Refactor the vCPU cap and vmcb12 flag checks into a helper. The
unlikely() annotation is dropped, it's unlikely (huh) to make a
difference and the CPU will probably predict it better on its own.
