[PATCH] kvm/arm64: change gicv3_cpuif to static likely branch

From: Heyi Guo
Date: Fri Nov 29 2019 - 22:16:09 EST


Platforms running hypervisor nowadays are normally powerful servers
which at least support GICv3, so it should be better to switch
kvm_vgic_global_state.gicv3_cpuif to static likely branch, which can
reduce two "b" instructions to a single "nop" for GICv3 branches.

We don't update arm32 specific code for they may still only have
GICv2.
