[PATCH 07/15] KVM: MTRR: improve kvm_mtrr_get_guest_memory_type

From: Xiao Guangrong
Date: Sat May 30 2015 - 07:00:27 EST


- kvm_mtrr_get_guest_memory_type() only checks one page in MTRRs so that
it's unnecessary to check to see if the range is partially covered in
MTRR

- optimize the check of overlap memory type and add some comments to explain
the precedence
