Subject: [PATCH 0/3] KVM: X86: Single target IPI fastpath enhancement 

The original single target IPI fastpath patch forgot to filter the 
ICR destination shorthand field. Multicast IPI is not suitable for 
this feature since wakeup the multiple sleeping vCPUs will extend 
the interrupt disabled time, it especially worse in the over-subscribe 
and VM has a little bit more vCPUs scenario. Let's narrow it down to 
single target IPI. In addition, this patchset micro-optimize virtual 
IPI emulation sequence for fastpath.

Wanpeng Li (3):
  KVM: X86: Delay read msr data iff writes ICR MSR
  KVM: X86: Narrow down the IPI fastpath to single target IPI
  KVM: X86: Micro-optimize IPI fastpath delay
