[PATCH 0/3] make KVM PV use apic through APIs

From: Michael S. Tsirkin
Date: Sun Jul 15 2012 - 08:57:20 EST


KVM PV EOI optimization overrides eoi_write apic op with its own
version. at Ingo's suggestion, add an API for this and switch kvm to use
it, to avoid meddling with core x86 apic driver data structures
directly.

Ingo, could you please review and let us know whether this
matches what you had in mind?

This patchset is on top of kvm/next since it touches some
of the code modified in that tree (and patch 3 reverts a commit
in that tree). Could x86 some maintainers pls ACK merging this patchset
through the kvm tree?

Michael S. Tsirkin (3):
apic: add apic_set_eoi_write for PV use
kvm: switch to apic_set_eoi_write, apic_write
Revert "apic: fix kvm build on UP without IOAPIC"
