Subject: Re: [PATCH 1/2] KVM: SVM: Introduce avic_kick_target_vcpus_fast()

A drive-by comment on the shortlog, something like

  KVM: SVM: Use target APIC ID to complete AVIC IRQs when possible

is much more helpful, e.g. I had to read the entire changelog and most of the
code to find out what "fast" meant.
