[PATCH 2/3] KVM: SVM: Macrofy GPR swapping in __svm_vcpu_run()

From: Paolo Bonzini

Date: Wed May 13 2026 - 13:58:37 EST


From: "Chang S. Bae" <chang.seok.bae@xxxxxxxxx>

Convert the register save/restore sequences in the SVM entry into macros,
following the VMX code. Drop the now-redundant register offset defines.

No functional change intended.
