    KVM: x86: introduce definitions to support static calls for kvm_x86_ops · 9af5471b
    Jason Baron authored
    Use static calls to improve kvm_x86_ops performance. Introduce the
    definitions that will be used by a subsequent patch to actualize the
    savings. Add a new kvm-x86-ops.h header that can be used for the
    definition of static calls. This header is also intended to be
    used to simplify the defition of svm_kvm_ops and vmx_x86_ops.
    
    Note that all functions in kvm_x86_ops are covered here except for
    'pmu_ops' and 'nested ops'. I think they can be covered by static
    calls in a simlilar manner, but were omitted from this series to
    reduce scope and because I don't think they have as large of a
    performance impact.
