Subject: [PATCH v2 0/3] Use static_call for kvm_x86_ops

Hi,

Convert kvm_x86_ops to use static_call. Shows good performance
gains for cpuid loop micro-benchmark (results in patch 3/3).

Thanks,

-Jason


Changes from v1:
-Introduce kvm-x86-ops header with eye towards using this to define
 svm_x86_ops and vmx_x86_ops in follow on patches (Paolo, Sean)
-add new patch (1/3), that adds a vmx/svm prefix to help facilitate
 svm_x86_ops and vmx_x86_ops future conversions.
-added amd perf numbres to description of patch 3/3

Jason Baron (3):
  KVM: X86: append vmx/svm prefix to additional kvm_x86_ops functions
  KVM: x86: introduce definitions to support static calls for kvm_x86_ops
  KVM: x86: use static calls to reduce kvm_x86_ops overhead
