Subject: [PATCH 0/5] Rework of msrpm optimization and additional fixes for nested svm

Hi,

this is the updated version of the msrpm merge optimization in the nested vmrun
path. With nested-shadow I see a performance improvement by a factor of two in
an up guest with kernel compile times.
A few other fixes are also included like the iopm check for nested io
intercepts and the masking of lower 12 bits of the msrpm address supplied in
the nested vmcb.
Please review and/or apply these changes.

	Joerg
