Re: [RFC PATCH v2 4/5] kvm/svm: Update the per-CPU wakeup-list during vCPU load and unload

[Sean Christopherson]

KVM: SVM:

And this shortlog+changelog is woefully inadequate.  For all intents and purposes
this patch adds KVM support for GAPPI.  So, state that in the shortlog, explain
what GAPPI is (and spell out the acronym), how it works, what KVM's scheme is,
and so on and so forth.  I'm not even going to try to review the code without that.
