[PATCH 3/3] KVM: LAPIC: Optimize PMI delivering overhead

[Wanpeng Li]

From: Wanpeng Li <wanpengli@xxxxxxxxxxx>

The overhead of kvm_vcpu_kick() is huge since expensive rcu/memory
barrier etc operations in rcuwait_wake_up(). It is worse when local 
delivery since the vCPU is scheduled and we still suffer from this. 
We can observe 12us+ for kvm_vcpu_kick() in kvm_pmu_deliver_pmi() 
path by ftrace before the patch and 6us+ after the optimization.
