Subject: Re: [PATCH 2/3] KVM: x86: Avoid guest page table walk when
 gpa_available is set

> Currently, emulator_read_write_onepage() makes use of gpa_available flag
> to avoid a guest page walk for a known MMIO regions. Lets not limit
> the gpa_available optimization to just MMIO region. The patch extends
> the check to avoid page walk whenever gpa_available flag is set.
