[PATCH v11 02/16] KVM: x86: Use a new flag for branch targets

From: Binbin Wu
Date: Wed Sep 13 2023 - 11:39:51 EST


Use the new flag X86EMUL_F_BRANCH instead of X86EMUL_F_FETCH in assign_eip()
to distinguish instruction fetch and branch target computation for features
that handle differently on them, e.g. Linear Address Space Separation (LASS).

As of this patch, X86EMUL_F_BRANCH and X86EMUL_F_FETCH are identical as far
as KVM is concerned.

No functional change intended.
