Subject: KVM: x86: Do not set access bit on accessed segments
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e2cefa746e7e2a1104931d411b6f5de159d98ec6;p=linux-beck.git

KVM: x86: Do not set access bit on accessed segments

When segment is loaded, the segment access bit is set unconditionally.  In
fact, it should be set conditionally, based on whether the segment had the
accessed bit set before. In addition, it can improve performance.
