    KVM: ppc: Stop saving host TLB state · 20754c24
    Hollis Blanchard authored
    We're saving the host TLB state to memory on every exit, but never using it.
    Originally I had thought that we'd want to restore host TLB for heavyweight
    exits, but that could actually hurt when context switching to an unrelated host
    process (i.e. not qemu).
    
    Since this decreases the performance penalty of all exits, this patch improves
    guest boot time by about 15%.
