[PATCH 15/47] KVM: SVM: copy only necessary parts of the control area on vmrun/vmexit

From: Avi Kivity
Date: Wed Aug 26 2009 - 06:39:48 EST


From: Joerg Roedel <joerg.roedel@xxxxxxx>

The vmcb control area contains more then 800 bytes of reserved fields
which are unnecessarily copied. Fix this by introducing a copy
function which only copies the relevant part and saves time.
