[PATCH v2 17/20] KVM: x86/xen: Drop local "kick_vcpu" from __kvm_xen_set_evtchn_fast()

From: Sean Christopherson

Date: Fri May 29 2026 - 13:25:08 EST


Now that the CLASS()-based gpc mappings allow for early returns, drop the
local "kick_vcpu" from the event channel fastpath, and simply return early
if the vCPU doesn't need to be kicked.

No functional change intended.
