Subject: xen/multicall: special-case singleton hypercalls
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=eac303bf2ef63e7f7b6971badea0ff7bf08a2b22;p=mv-sheeva.git

xen/multicall: special-case singleton hypercalls

Singleton calls seem to end up being pretty common, so just
directly call the hypercall rather than going via multicall.
