[PATCH 7/7] KVM: X86: Also prefetch the last range in __direct_pte_prefetch().

From: Lai Jiangshan
Date: Tue Aug 24 2021 - 14:00:14 EST


From: Lai Jiangshan <laijs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

__direct_pte_prefetch() skips prefetching the last range.

The last range are often the whole range after the faulted spte when
guest is touching huge-page-mapped(in guest view) memory forwardly
which means prefetching them can reduce pagefault.
