Subject[PATCH 3/9] KVM: VMX: make PLE window per-vcpu
Date
Change PLE window into per-vcpu variable, seeded from module parameter,
to allow greater flexibility.

Brings in a small overhead on every vmentry.

I've been thinking about a general hierarchical per-vcpu variable model,
but it's hard to have current performance and sane code.
