    Subject[PATCH 00/43] VMX optimizations
    Date
    This is the outcome of the review of Sean's VMX optimization series,
    with some coding style improvements (at least according to me :)
    and conflicts resolved between the various series that he sent.

    The result on nested vmexit.flat is about a 12% improvement on
    vmexit speed:
