Subject[RFC PATCH v3 0/6] KVM: x86: avoid redundant REQ_EVENT
Date
This is the result of cleaning up the places that set REQ_EVENT unnecessarily.
The savings on self-IPI kvm-unit-tests are:

self_ipi_sti_nop ~300 clock cycles
self_ipi_sti_hlt ~300 clock cycles
self_ipi_tpr ~400 clock cycles
self_ipi_tpr_sti_nop ~700 clock cycles
self_ipi_tpr_sti_hlt ~700 clock cycles

which is in the 5-10% range. Please help me comparing this series with
"[PATCH v2] KVM: x86: avoid redundant REQ_EVENT" on the real workload!

Thanks,

Paolo
